Some Things Never Change

If you know us, then you know that on any flight, Chuck Cook will sleep the entire flight unless he wakes up to go to the restroom or to eat. I stay awake the whole flight whether it's a two hour flight, an eight hour flight or a 26 hour flight. I cannot sleep on an airplane. You can put me in business class or you can put me in economy. It doesn't matter. I'm going to be awake.. .. so yesterday we arrived and immediately followed our rule of do not nap now, but spend the day busy so that you can sleep that night and be on a regular schedule for the trip. We visited a couple places Chuck really wanted to see yesterday and at the very last spot, where Columbus met with Queen Isabella, I was leaning against the wall and fell asleep. At that point, Chuck realized we probably ought to go on back to the room because his wife was hammered. I got back to the room and rested for just a bit, had supper and at 8:30 we were in bed. We woke up this morning at 8:30 so 12 hours of sleep has totally restored me. We had breakfast in the hotel and then set off on our adventures for the day, which Chuck will tell you about in another post. There is a little robot that cleans the restaurant dining area. How cool is that! I wonder if I can get one for our house.Read more
