Red Wine and Sleeping Pills

I asked Isabel how she does with flying, since it takes something like 20 hours to get to Chile.  Apparently, and this is good to know, taking sleeping pills with a little red wine makes things in the air a little less gruesome. BUT seriously, consult a physician before YOU do this. We don’t need any letters from bereaved family members claiming Isabel Allende told us this great jet-lag cure!

Here’s something else about Isabel Allende. Her parents are STILL ALIVE! In fact, she stays with them when she is in Chile. Let me tell you, they are amazing. The old man is pretty hot actually, and P, as I will forever call Isabel’s mom, is stunning, like movie-star stunning.
