Flying, Sleeping, and Jet-Lagging...

A week ago I was in Cairo. I was just hanging out trying to decide what I will do for the summer. It was cool. I was enjoying the lazy days of my summer vacation. It was Saturday. I decide I will leave with my sister on Monday.
I have always been a last minute kind of person... but that was more than I could handle. I was stressed and freaking out and so many other things.
I hate flying... and the thought of a 12 hour flight was making me feel sick to my stomach.

I get the wonderful idea that I will take some kind of medicine that will help me sleep. I just did not have the time to set myself up for the flight.. so I would just sleep through it.
Anyway, I get on the plane in London heading to DC and I take Nytol. It is supposed to last 4 to 6 hours. I figure that is perfect for the almost 8 hour flight.. I am awake for less than the time it takes me to finish dinner. I slept through almost the whole flight.
I wonder why I never tried Nytol before... The Nytol tag line is "Nytol will help you catch your Z's" and it definitely did that.
I get home and fall asleep.
I am basically asleep for 3 days. I wake up every once in a while for water and to ask what day and time it was.
I have never had jet lag like that before!
I am still confused as to what day it is...

But.. I am here! And I am having an amazing time so far! I'll write about the stupid and crazy stories I've accumulated so far.. but after I take a nap...
