Big time jet lag

We returned from Australia on Wednesday night and here I am at 2 am wide awake and blogging. The time difference between Brisbane and Steamboat is currently eight hours, so as far as my body clock is concerned it's 6 pm and my stomach is beginning to ask 'what's for dinner?' Plus we didn't wake up until 1.30 pm today (well yesterday now) which is not helping to reset the sleep cycle.

The jet lag for this trip is second only to Singapore to Steamboat where the difference is usually 10 hours. I find it takes the best part of a week to fully synchronize with Steamboat time when returning from Australia or Asia.

It was hard leaving Brisbane after seeing friends and family, even if the Brisbane Lions did lose all three of the games I managed to attend. But if you've got to leave behind people that you miss, there's no place better than Steamboat to make you feel it's worth it. It's late spring here now and it's green, peaceful and the weather is beautiful. Warm and sunny during the day and still cold enough at night to appreciate a warm bed.
