I can imagine traveling that far is rough and would definitely require a few days to get back on something that resembles a normal schedule. I saw some pictures though. It looks like you had a great time.

It was awesome! Yeah, I've heard it takes 1 day per 1 hour that you jump, but for me it's usually less than that. (But still bad.)

Think of it as seven hours of time difference. That's more manageable, and more realistic actually - crossing the international date line doesn't cause any jet lag.

we must have been there at the same time. I flew back to Chicago direct on 12/24 and I am still not right. I haven't done much international travel, especially not at my current age. I was NOT expecting this. It's rough.

Used to work a nasty 2 days 2 nights 4 days off roster and the only thing that worked for that flipping back and forth was just accepting that I'll be a forgetful zombie for a day and stay awake / avoid driving.

Oh man, woooooow, that's a rough schedule! What job was that?

Something about ‘fists with your toes’?! Hope you had a good trip.
