We left home at 2:00pm on Friday afternoon. We arrived in Chicago at 5:30pm on Saturday afternoon. This was a shorter total travel time than from China - although by the calendar, it took much longer. The flight from Shanghai to Chicago only clocks in at 30 minutes. Driving and flying both have their advantages and disadvantages, but we arrived full of energy and happy to be here.
But here's the really exciting part - no jet lag! A night sleeping on the ground, followed by a day in the car screwed up everyone's systems enough to completely annihilate the difference one puny hour would make in our appetites and sleeping habits. Everyone is on track - after only one night!
And it only gets more exciting. The time difference between Caracas and the Midwest is 30 minutes. Weird, right? And awesome. We will not face jet lag for the next 4 years! Man oh man, what rest that brings to my soul.
