I leave for Hawai'i early Friday morning. Hawai'i sits comfortably at UTC-10 whereas New Mexico is at UTC-7, so I am three hours ahead here. In order to be awake at the right time of day during my vacation, I've been slowly pushing my schedule forward over the last week. Now I am waking up at 8:30am and going to bed at 1:00am. This should translate nicely to a reasonable schedule when I get to Hawai'i. A note to Nina: You have 5 hours to shift; please don't make me wake up at 3am local time when we get there. :) Anyway, it feels weird forcing myself to sleep in and stay up really late.


Heh I am more likely to fall into bed and never, ever get up ever again. Volcanoes volschmanoes.
