The Red-Eye

There is no question in my mind why they call airline flights that leave at 10:30 p.m. and arrive at some early hour the next day "The Red-Eye." Not only do your eyes kill you, but your whole body feels thrashed. We boarded a nice airbus headed for Charlotte, NC at 10:10 last night and arrived at 6:30 NC time...or really 3:30 according to my internal clock today. So, not only do you not sleep well (if at all), but they get you up in the middle of the night and shoo you off the plane!

We got off the plane into the terminal, eat an airport breakfast, and get on another flight that will take us to Baltimore. Still no sleep...

We are at an old historic hotel called The Melrose. At some point I will try to insert pictures. Dan and I just crashed after grabbing a quick bite for lunch. We really wanted to walk around the city, but sleep was just unavoidable. We will be ready to go bright and early tomorrow morning (7 a.m.). Gosh, that reminds me of my teaching days!
