I just get really sleepy... I don't really wake up at night. The only time that happened was when Cel showed me a message about the Chch earthquake at 3am on our first night back in L.A. Then I was wide awake.

For AT3, we arrived at the hotel at about 3 or 4 and had to get ready for the cocktail party. AT4, we arrived in London at around 9 in the morning at stayed up all day sightseeing before going to bed. Both times, we were up for about 40 hours before sleeping (except for little cat naps on the planes). Both trips were a whirlwind of activity for a week and then the flight home. Out of sorts for about a day after getting home, which makes all that unpacking and doing laundry lots of fun. Luckily, I'm good at functioning pretty well with half a brain.

If it's already been posted then I'm sorry.
But you should be away bidding and not here to see it twice;-)
I was wondering if I should repost from the Gabit thread, thanks for saving me the trouble.
Thanks to Pengyn, SamJackShipLover and Mala for the sig.

Seems I've no qualms of waking others in the middle of the night either when I see the need.

if you get in in the early am, take a nap for a couple of hours, then stay awake and go to bed at hte normal time, trying to keep to as normal of a sleep cycle as possible.
and i agree with drinking plenty.
Oh, you meant water? Ooops!

Neep;
I've flown first class on an upgrade and I can say from personal experience they are just as disgusting as the economy class. In fact I told myself when I left the "room" that it was a mess; 36 hours later I had the worst rotovirus infection . It put me down for 4 days; quite frankly I would have appreciated it if someone, anyone, would have shot me to put me out of my misery So a higher priced ticket doesn't buy you a clean bathroom.

*Hugs* to everyone who's got jet-leg, it must be tough. I didn't get jet-lag obviously, but I was really tired for about a week, think maybe its to do with the fun of the weekend with, not much sleep adrenalin gets me through and when I get home and stop the tiredness hits.
Oh and Ives the bear arrived home today. *Huge hugs* to JulaR and Ives sender. I gave him a big hug, it felt like hugging all of you. Miss everyone. *hugs thread*

A bit like Comic Con, but with slightly less people and *a lot* less space. It's known for the OTT costumes (there is a story of a girl walking around in just strategically place *caution* tape) and a lot of drinking. I really have no desire to go because it just seems like the crowds would be too big for me (and I am fine at Comic Con, for the most part, just moments in the dealers room) and it's Atlanta... not my idea of a tourist destination (no offense! )sigpic

too bad they don't let you bring on spray cans. i'd have a nice big can of Lysol germ killer.
almost feel human today. mega caffeine helped, actually making some progress in editing my 2035 photo collection from one trip. can't believe i took that many pictures. but my hands shake and i don't use a tripod so i just keep snapping. it's amazing the amount of funny faces amanda can make in one q+a session.

I"m personally not a fan of hand sanitizer, I don't like the whole 'super bugs' that overuse of them creates...that said, in cases like airline bathrooms and traveling, they're good to have on hand.
No detour to the lady's/men's room, just straight to the cafeteria.
Not sure whatever happened to "wash your hands before a meal" that we were all taught when we were kids.
I think it was a nice touch that the Gabit backpack contained hand sanitizer. :-)Last edited by Fresh_Horse; 04 March 2011, 10:13 PM.

I've often wondered about that, too. I wash my hands all the time and get very few colds (mostly when I've been to a theater or other crowded place). And I was grateful for the sanitizer as well. I was very jet lagged but didn't get sick when I came home from AT5. In fact I don't think I have ever gotten a cold after a con. I usually just use soap and water but lacking that the sanitizer was fine.
I think it took nearly 2 weeks to get over the jet lag. Now I'm back to staying up till 1 am and getting up at 9 or so. Embarrassing this am when my landlord showed up to fix my microwave. Still in my jammies, oops.
