After a long flight of about 15 hours, I've landed at my destination in the East. It's warm and rainy and I am very tired. The sleeping pills failed me, and though I've managed to sleep through the first quarter to a third of the flight, the rest of it was spent with eyes closed, constantly nodding and hopelessly trying to find a comfortable position.

The room at the hotel is small, but I've been told it's going to be upgraded to a larger room, so I expect to move out later. I'm trying to prepare for my first meeting tomorrow, but it's difficult to concentrate. I'll turn in early tonight, after I move to the new room. A shower wouldn't hurt either.
Update: I have moved to another room down the hall, and it is somewhat bigger and has a grander view of this part of the city. Ironically, I think some of the fatigue I'm feeling now is due to the sleeping pills still in my system, though the rather significant jet lag is a factor as well (12 hours difference...). It's definitely time for a shower.

Great to hear you arrived ok...pity about the lack of sleep. Is it gonna be all business or will you get some free time?
ReplyDeleteIt's mostly business, though I do have one weekend to play tourist (though I'll probably spend at least some of it at the hotel working).
DeleteI swear to the almighty, if you choose to spend your weekend working rather than getting ripped-off at local tourist dives, I'm going to fax myself first class to this so-called "east" of yours and administer such a cold, harsh rebuke that eyebrows may be raised by passers by! Seriously, that place has some amazing architecture.
