I've heard all about the strange time differences when traveling and experienced them myself on other trips. But I've never actually lost a day. June 1 will not exist in my life. We fly out of San Francisco at like 8 p.m. May 31. We land in Auckland at around 5 a.m. June 2. So it's basically a red eye, 12 hour flight. It actually sounds easier to handle than the 8 hour difference you get going to Europe.
The return, however, is going to mess me up. I hope my boss won't expect much my first day back. We leave Auckland at 7 p.m. or so June 12. We get into L.A. the next day around noon. Then, after an 11 hour layover at LAX, another red eye back home. Also on June 12. Does anybody have any experience dealing with back-to-back red eye's? I just want to survive.
Oh, and don't take this as whining. I know I'm tremendously lucky to be doing this. But holy crap I won't want to pack and move the next week.
