RED EYE FLIGHT TO ATLANTA

8 AM, Tue, 26 Feb 08, Atlanta Airport

RED EYE FLIGHT

If you’ve been on a red eye flight,
You know it’s torture light.
You forever cruise
Trying to snooze,
Miserable the entire night.

Now that it’s past, I can say it wasn’t really that bad. I got stiff some places from sleeping in odd positions, but that has mostly passed. It was ten hours from Buenos Aires to Atlanta. So, if it wasn’t good sleep, it was a lot of it. Helen slept quite a bit of it, which is unusual for her.

Not only is Buenos Aires a heck of a long way south of Atlanta, it’s a long way east as well. We set our clocks back three hours upon arrival. Even Santiago is two hours later than Atlanta.

Our flight to Dulles leaves at 10 AM.

I’ve done three miles (one hour) of hall walking for exercise here in the Atlanta airport so far. I had no opportunity for exercise yesterday.

In addition to memorable, enjoyable experiences and education, this trip gained us several new American friends.
