It's 6:45am in Germany and I'm on my way home, and operation No Jetlag begins! I Land in Portland at about 7pm, so I just need to stay awake for about 24-25 hours now.

Airport security line was ridiculously long and there was no priority lane. Made it through after about 30 minutes. No line for the foreign passport check so that was a breeze. Now at the Open Sky lounge to get some coffee

Oh they have sparkling wine in the lounge, it's never too early for a mimosa!

Inspired by yesterday's @IndieWebCamp, I reorganised webmentions on my blog for likes and reposts to be a list of names rather than just output what looks like 'comment'. Through a couple of fairly ugly hacks, it saves lots of space!

Really appreciating the new @AlaskaAir 💙 @TravelOneWorld alliance since my Gold 75K Alaska status converted into OneWorld Emerald and now I board first and get access to the good British Airways lounges! ✈️
Too bad I am going to lose it next year 😅 -

Apparently my 75K Alaska status converts to OneWorld Emerald so I get access to the fancy British Airways lounge! Not going to argue with that!
Nothing here is self service, you have to order on your phone using the QR code on the table, and you have to give it a code word that's shown on signs around the lounge, which is a clever solution to avoid people ordering random things to be sent to random tables after they leave. -

I'm at the gate at LHR now and the automated PA announcement just said "for security reasons, unattended luggage will be removed and destroyed."
And then repeated the announcement in German, and then I learned a cool new word, "vernichtet" -

My biggest character trait is buying things I need and then immediately forgetting where I put them.
I have absolutely bought things again if I forgot where I put the first one I bought -

Just boarded the plane from London to Seattle. It's also late enough in Seattle that I am now switching my clocks to Pacific time, so now it's 6:15am. That means I'm pretending I just woke up and am going to try to have a normal day starting now. #OperationNoJetlag -

The slowest part of the whole thing was literally just getting out of the plane! Breezed thru border control with Global Entry, and no checked bags. I had to go back thru security and my boarding pass originally didn't have precheck so I asked them to reprint my boarding pass which totally worked! Sailed thru security and made it to the gate and only half the plane had boarded already!

Always a win on intercontinental flights.
And partial compensation for having to deal with LHR.
For sure! I lucked out and had the whole row both directions! -

The last SEA->PDX leg went smooth. The flight is so short there's no time to get out a computer or anything, so I ended up napping during takeoff for about half the flight, so like 20 minutes. Now it's 7:30 and I'm not about to fall asleep anymore, so I hope I don't regret that nap.
Next up in the #OperationNoJetlag plan is nachos for dinner and staying up until at least 9:30pm
My last meal (other than airplane pretzels and chips) was lunch at the beginning of the LHR->SEA flight which was around 7am local time. I wanted to save room for dinner but also wanted to eat a full meal before bed to get my stomach back on this time zone too.
