The flights I have scheduled will allow me to arrive at the DC airport a day early for my upcoming summer residency at George Washington's Mount Vernon. That means I should have an extra afternoon/evening and an extra morning to explore the estate before I report to my official teacher institute requirements.
| The anticipation is real! I hope I don't experience the phenomenon know as jet lag. After all I will cross the line betwixt our beloved Central time zone into the Eastern time zone. That means I will, in a sense, travel an hour forward in time, taking an extra hour away from my day between the time my flight takes off and the time we land. As luck would have it, I will pick up an extra hour on my return, experiencing the same times twice. You can imagine the havoc that these time zone changes will inflict on my body. |  |
