So where actually are you at the moment?

Because I thought you were home, like in the UK.

No, I'm not home in the UK yet.

I have, I'm only halfway on my trip back around the world.

I was recently in Hawaii and I am now back in North Carolina and at some

uncertain point I will be returning back to London but because I fly standby I don't exactly

know when I'm leaving yet.

Flying directly from Hawaii which is one time zone away from being the furthest away a place can be from London before it starts getting closer.

Like doing a trip from that place directly back to London, I'm pretty sure my body would just give up and

die.

And so, even when I just fly to the West Coast, I usually try to plan it that I come to North

Carolina, do a slight adjustment with time zones, go to the west coast or

go to Hawaii, spend some time there, and then come back to North Carolina to try to do some adjustment

again before returning to London.

So I have to break up the trips because jet lag is always just rough on me.

So I am still jet lag now because I just got back from Hawaii a couple days ago.

And now this is the dreaded eastward journey in which

you wake up terribly late and feel awful every day and it's very hard.

Anyway that's a long answer to the fact that I am in North Carolina right now for some

indeterminate amount of time. I don't think I was aware of like Hawaiian time or

whatever the actual time zone is called. Yeah it's's like Hawaii Alaska time zone.

They're both on the same one.
