Flying to NZ: in for the long haul
Categories:
Started to think about this long haul flighty thing to New Zealand.... and how best to prepare for it.... I've done some reading and I reckon I have the best advice going, I began with arguably the best guide to long haul flights and also read Surviving a long haul flight ... and then became amazingly thankful that I didn't have to read this Long Haul Flights with Small Children, Babies.
I was babysitting my 8 month old nephew, Max, on Saturday night.... it wasn't so bad (!) ;-)
Still unsure whether turning up at the airport unbelievably tired is a good strategy - the idea being that I will sleep most of the 23 hour flight. Thoughts?

I'll swap Max for my four any day Jonathan (on a temporary basis of course!) - then you'll realise it really wasn't so bad! :-)

So how did you go? Were you jet lagged?

The night I arrived I was completely out of it... Kris and Carole urged me not to close my eyes and given in until it was time to sleep. I was a dizzy, shaky wreck when it came to bedtime!
After a proper nights sleep, I've never felt better.... I start to tire at around 5 o'clock ish, but the days are long and involving. Well accustomed to NZ time now.
