I just never sleep the night before, then sleep on the plane. Most of the time I am only able to sleep 50% of the time though, as I'm not too good at sleeping in moving vehicles myself.
My advice to all men who's partners are getting broody, both of you look after an under 3 for the weekend, and feed them coke, chocolate, V, anything to make them, a: obnoxious, and b: projectile vomit.
It'll give you at least six months peace and quiet from ' Wouldn't it be great to have kids'
Please no... it would be filled with conspiracy theory shit...
Back on topic: I hate long flights with passion... the best is if you have a row of seats for yourself (had this luck one time), then you can actually sleep comfortably. I highly advise to buy one of those "around your neck" pillow things.
Just checked-in online, need to pack a few more things when I get home from work and tomorrow morning at 5.45h we leave to the airport. Flight goes at 11.40h.
Will take camera bag and laptop onboard with me. So will download some movies and music
No, but everyone is going to be there around 7.00h. They said we need to be there that early
You have to be there 2-3h in advance.
And everything goes very slow here in Belgium, so it's really needed to be on time
Well, I'd take tonight to get used to the US time zone if you could to avoid jet lag. Go to bed 6 hours late (2 AM your time) if you can and then wake up just before you leave at 7AM (GMT +1 going to GMT -5). Then if you're tired still just sleep on the flight when possible (great way to pass the time ). I've never flown, but I have taken 13 hour road trips before to Daytona Beach
Orlando to Daytona should take just a little over an hour if my memory serves correct . Don't get away from the Airport in Atlanta though. Where the airport is located is crime heavy I recall (It's not the good part of town really). The airport its self though seems nice, so no worries (I've only ever drove past there though)
What all will you be doing in Daytona? Saturday night's race should only have around 100,000 at it, so it shouldn't be all that busy compared to next weekend. .
Happy travels, and I hope you enjoy your stay in the United States
We'll be watching all races, qualifiers etc... We will be going to Volusia speedway for some World Of Outlaws. Think we'll go to the beach parade too. With the old beachracers etc
Rest is just relaxing, bit of shopping...
Just ask them if they could show the 9/11 documentary or the movie made out of it.
Or go to the toilet, fap, repeat for x times
I could say the best bet is to have your phone/tablet full of some race footage, or similar, maybe your favourite TV show. Like MLP. There's no-one that can not like it.
I guess if it's your first time flying and at airports its good to be there early.
However, i was flying from Switzerland, Thailand, Mexico, Austria, Czech Republic, Spain, Qatar, The netherlands, UK, etc... many times. It was always plenty of time left waiting around when i was there two hours early. It can get hectic if you arrive only one hour prior to take off... but usually even that is enough (i never missed or delayed a flight).
Fap in the bathroom till you are raw. It is quite a feeling with all those people within a few feet.
I would meet up with you in Atlanta depending on what time but you probably don't have a lot of time between flights.
