Time Zones
During my trip to Korea last year I had an extraordinary hard time adjusting to the timezone changes. So, to try and alleviate some of the hard transition I decided to spend the last couple of days trying to make the jump to Hanoi time (UTC +7) by staying up late and sleeping longer in the day.
My goal was to get a head start on the time change so that when I get off the plane in Hanoi I am ready to function as if I was a local- to take on the day, to be “on my game”….
Of course this experiment, so far, has proven to be wholly unsuccessful. The end result is that I am just sleep deprived. Maybe this will help me rest on the plane so that I will wake up refreshed and ready for the conference and the tropical heat. heh…. we’ll see!
Next update after I go “wheels up” on Saturday!

As much as I love you, I agree your “experiment” in pre-trip time zone adjustment was not a good idea! Glad you realized this too – we’ll figure out a better way before your next international jaunt. Great blogging and photo with Rose. Love you, my sleep-deprived hubbie!
