So typically I woke at 3am to my jet lag, I wrote my previous 2 blog entries, maybe still under the influence and dropped back off to sleep. I did not even consider what time I needed to wake up to get to the airport on time, simply assuming an early afternoon flight would give me loads of time to play with.
