    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.

    #OperationNoJetlag update: managed to stay up until about 10pm last night and then got really really tired while watching a movie. Fell asleep and stayed asleep until about 6am! Got up and had a normal day, went on a walk in the morning and bike ride in the afternoon. I was hungry at lunch time and again at dinner time so I'm pretty sure that means I did it!

    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!

    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"

    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
