Red-Eye
- wadE
There isn't anything remotely fun about taking a red-eye flight...especially when you live in
Minnesota where there isn't anything far enough (relatively speaking in flying terms) to truly
qualify as a proper red-eye.
I was in Las Vegas this last weekend (more on that later this week) and took the "red-eye" back this
morning.
When you're flight leaves at 1:00 AM and arrives at 6:00 AM you think you might have a decent chance
of catching some sleep. Until you realize that the actual flight time is 2 hours and 45 minutes, and
there is a 2 hour time change.
Factor in the time it takes to fall asleep, the chatty person next to you, and the captain coming
over the impossibly loud PA system about 30 minutes before you land, and now you're looking at
about 2 hours, tops, of potential sleep.
What does this mean to you? Well it means I'm asking for your humble forgiveness as today I am
a member of the walking dead. A lifeless zombie who has yet to speak to another person at work,
besides the security guard at the front desk because I forgot my badge today.
Although after the weekend of continuous stimuli, it's nice to have some quiet time to decompress.
