travel high, travel hangover

Had a great trip to Suomi-land (Finland) and back. Am having post travel depression and hangover.

Wedding went off with a couple of hitches... the guy got hitched, of course, and his brother who was best man passed out during the ceremony. Was a lively event on the whole and a joy to be there.

About that hangover.. I slept from 9am until 5pm the day after I got back and that is jetlag suicide. I know better than that, but did it anyway. So I've had sleepless nights and really drowsy day yesterday.

Travel Tip: If you're going to travel, stay up the whole length of day (and maybe even up a bit late) and then go to bed. Have some coffee or tea during the day to keep yourself moving well, but be SURE not to have tea in the afternoon (particularly late afternoon). That should get you well sorted in a shorter period of time.

I consider myself to now be a man of great patience. I've waited a total of 27 hours in airports during my last week's travels. I've travelled a total of 52.5 hours in flight related movements e.g. flying or waiting for flight. (maybe more than that). On the way back my particularly long wait was 18 hours overnight. Almost too much.

This is a book now.. I'll leave it at that. Picture(s) to come later.
