Day One, yesterday was a success.

A ‘good tired’.

And by tired, we mean at the end of the day, with all of adventure’s adrenaline gone, exhausted.

An honest, rarely felt, comprehensive exhaustion.

Time warp.

First time ever.

We left on a Friday (Jan 19) and arrived on Sunday (Jan 21).

But our air time is 24 hours.

Note: The reverse will happen when we go back in time on the trip home. We depart and arrive on the same day. With the same 24 hours air time.
