Our flight leaves RDU today, Tuesday, 6:05pm. In ~ 28 hours we'll be in Paro, Bhutan. It will be Thursday, 8:00am. There is a 10 hour difference between EST and Bhutan time.
We will travel from Raleigh-Durham to London, London to Delhi, Delhi to Paro. 9-1/2 hours of transit time will be spent laying over in airports.
I have slippers, compression socks, an inflatable pillow, and a light cardigan packed for comfort. I have headphones, an iPad, and my knitting ready for entertainment. I wish I had something to help me sleep, but I've learned that sleeping on planes is not easy for me. I don't use sleeping pills and alcohol is off the menu as it can contribute to dehydration, leading to problems acclimating to high elevations in the coming days.
So... we're off! Let the adventure begin!
