time to fly

Last night was the one night this month when we really needed to get a good night sleep. We needed to go to bed early and wake up early in order to try and adjust our bodies to our time clock as of tomorrow. It didn't work. It was like Christmas eve, or the night before a big job interview or first date. It was made worse by our packed bags sitting over there on the floor watching us sleep, waiting for their adventures to begin. We tried to go to sleep around 10 but ended up tossing and turning for an hour. Frustrated, we turned on Comedy Central to watch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart for some comic relief (it was a particularly good episode). Then a rereun of Saturday Night Live came on and we watched most of that. In the end, we didn't end up sleeping until after midnight. We slept in until 8.30 (Magi) and 9.30 (Krishna). So much for adjusting our schedule!

Anyway, our flight leaves tonight at 6. We have a 7 hour flight and arrive in Amsterdam tomorrow morning around 7.30. There are no emotions now except excitement. We're very anxious to get going!

See you back on this continent next year! Until then, take care of yourselves and your animals.
