Jet lag is difficult for adults, much less children...This trip back to Chiang Mai has been pretty hard on us. We are 12 hours ahead here in Chiang Mai, which makes Dylan's day's and night's feel reversed. The last 2 days there have been moments when he just can't stay awake during the day and moments (which last a little longer) at night when he can't close them.
A little peak at the past 2 nights...
Night 1: down at 9:00 pm, up from 12:00-3:00 am, 6:00 am ready to start the day.
Night 2: down at 8:00 pm, up at 11:00 (brief), up at 2:00 am (feeding), up at 4:00 awake and ready to start the day. (Better than the first night, but not ideal.)
I've wrapped my head around the fact that it'll take about a week to recover, that's how long it takes for most adults as well...my concern is that 8 days from now we're taking another trip!
I know...
Fuad is going to Australia for his quarterly work meeting and Dylan & I are tagging along! It's just too good of an opportunity to pass up. Australia has been on our list of "must see" places while living in Asia. (More for me than Fuad, this will be his third trip there.)
Plus...
The last work trip Fuad took back in April, which was to Moscow, was one of the most difficult weeks Dylan & I have experienced in his short life so far. I gained a new appreciation for single mothers, after spending that very difficult week without Fuad, I really don't know how they do it.
So Dylan will recover and then we'll head to Sydney for a week. The good news is the time difference is only 3 hours!
Here's Dylan after waking from a massive nap the other day...just before we took the video he literally couldn't keep his eye lids up!
