Crossing the international dateline messes with your head.
Seriously.
Try this on for size:
The flight from Sydney to Los Angeles is about 14 hours long. The flight from LA to Las Vegas is about an hour and some change. Throw in a couple of hours for a layover between LA and Las Vegas, some baggage collection time and the cab ride to the hotel. Make it about 18 hours in transit.
I left Sydney at approximately 1pm on Saturday the 23rd June. I arrived in at my hotel room in Las Vegas at 2.30pm.
On Saturday the 23rd of June.
An hour and a half after I left Sydney.
Just in case I didn't enjoy it enough the first time, I was getting Saturday afternoon all over again. Which is a good thing. You see, I never had a Monday 16th July.
Nope. Never happened for me.
I got on a plane in LA at 10.30pm on Sunday 15th. I arrived in Melbourne at 9.30am Tuesday 17th.
No 16th.
Gone.
Nix, nada, bupkis.
Good thing I don't like Mondays. I didn't miss it one bit.
Exhilerated? Honestly Elsa, I got exhausted, but then you are the 'goer' and I like to stay at home.
It was a little mind boggling to read, too. I have enough trouble flying from Atlanta to Jackson and seeing it only takes ten minutes. Zoom scary. LOL
Tree.... even reading it makes me tired! Glad to hear that you had a great time!!! Keep the diary enteries coming.
Wonder if I can get rid of my Monday's that way? *LOL*
A couple of times, I was in transit for 36 hours. (Frankfurt > London > New York > St. Louis > Seattle)
Christ. I could have gotten pregnant AND given birth in that amount of time.
I feel for ya, hon.

Tree - I am exhilerated at the thought of making a trip like that. I feel for you though. Where did you stay in Vegas?
