So we drove from Ithaca to New York city for 4 1/2 hours and then took a flight from NYC to LA for 5 1/2 hours. Then we got on the flight to Australia which was 16 hours. Luckily my brother warned us about a medical condition called cheek fatigue . We experienced it. The flight over wasn’t bad although obviously long. I got some sleeping pills and I slept. Even better so did David which is unusual. David slept so much he missed dinner. It takes more than a sleeping pill for me to miss dinner so I ate. I also know how planes dry out the skin so I took a little facial mask with me. David will upload those pictures. I look exceptionally well.
From take off.....
Thanks
David and I are both having trouble with the concept that we are in tomorrow while the folks back home are in yesterday. Bill Bryson had a great comment saying stop trying to get your head around it and accept that you lost 24 hours of your existence
When you come home you have a whole extra day to recuperate! And to your surprise you may not need it. Snowing here in Ithaca.... not hot.
