Enter the Jetlag Brick
Jan. 26th, 2007 04:16 pmHurrah, I'm back! And feeling as though my brain's been hit with the Jetlag BrickTM , but that's only to be expected, I guess.
(Short rant) I hate night flights going east. Losing a night sucks. Unfortunately, during the winter, it seems like that's all there is. Flights from Britain to the US happen during the day; flights from the US to Britain happen overnight. During the summer, some airlines do an early morning flight out of DC, and I fly this way when I can, because it's so much easier to lose a day than a night. True, you have to get up at stupid o'clock in the morning to go to the airport, or not sleep at all-- but then, when you get back to Britain, you can stagger home and fall straight into bed. Vastly preferable to the night flight strategy, in which you arrive in the morning, push on through a bleary-eyed day in zombie style, give up and collapse about 5pm or so, wake up at 3.30am feeling fresh as a daisy, go "ugghh" and repeat for several days.
But I'm glad to be back! No, really! Just don't be surprised if you call me and I have problems speaking coherent English. Blurgle.
