So the crazy part about today is that I left Sydney at 2pm on Tuesday and 18 hours later I landed in LA at 1pm on Tuesday. Just East of Fiji I crossed over the international date line and traveled back in time.

The flight from Nadi to LA was pretty much awful. The plane was packed and my TV and overhead light were broken. They did not have another seat to move me to so I was stuck. We left Fiji around 10pm and we traveled East so the night was short. We only had about 4 hours of darkness and for the first two hours the overhead lights were on while they served dinner so I was able to read. I tried to nap but it is really hard in a full, hot plane.

The sun started to rise and I was able to open my shade and read and do Soduko puzzles. Finally they served breakfast and what seemed like an eternity later we landed at LAX. The flight was 10 hours and I was exhausted. I hope I never have to fly on Air Pacific again.

It took a while for our bags to come and to get through customs and catch the shuttle to to my hotel. I arrived at the Holiday Inn around 3pm. I showered and ordered a pizza. I tried so hard to stay awake until bed time but fell asleep around 6pm. I slept for two hours and then was up for the rest of the night. The jet lag is tough. My body kept thinking it was the middle of the day tomorrow.
