Day 0

---

5 hours to go. Am sufficiently pre-tired. "Pre-tired" is sort of like "pre-drinking", except that it doesn't involve booze. No wait,... "pre-tired" is nothing like "pre-drinking". So, my plan has been to get up 2 or 3 hours earlier than usual, which makes the time difference only +6 rather than +8. Next, on the 8 hour flight to Amsterdam, is to stay awake for the first hour, but then to sleep for at least 6 (17:00 to 23:00 here, 01:00 to 07:00 there). Unless my math is wrong, or the time zones don't work as I planned, I will have completely shifted to Austria time by the time was arrive in Vienna. I hope.

It would have been better to fly to Austria via Japan. That way the time difference would be -16h rather than +8h. -16 is a lot less than +8, and so would have been the jetlag coefficient (had you chosen this route). It's true. Trust me. I'm a genius.

Oh yeahhh,...
That makes complete sense Rob! The corollary to this rule is that when flying to Australia, it's better to go the Frankfurt (-7) route than the LA-KL route (+17)!
