LA, Here We Come (Or, Rather, Rest)
So, we're off to the City of Angels! Can you believe it? Me neither. I'm still trying to process the fact that I'll be swapping my cozy PJs for sunglasses and a questionable amount of sunscreen. But hey, sacrifices must be made for the gram, right?
The Jet Lag Blues
I’m expecting to look like a racoon crossed with a zombie for the first few days. Between the time zone change and the excitement of being in LA, I'm pretty sure sleep will be a distant memory. But fear not! I've already started practicing my best "I-just-woke-up-like-this" face.
Survival Kit Essentials
To combat this impending zombie-like state, I'm packing a survival kit. Think: dark sunglasses, a questionable amount of caffeine, and a really good book. Maybe even a neck pillow. Because let's be real, in-flight sleep is a myth, right?
The Great LA Recharge
Once we actually do manage to land and stumble out of the airport, the real challenge begins: finding a place to recharge. I'm envisioning a serene hotel room with blackout curtains and a room service menu that reads like a gourmet food fantasy. But knowing my luck, we'll end up in a hostel with paper-thin walls and a shared bathroom.
