I used to dread getting up and going to the airport at the crack of dawn. I always felt that it made more sense to have a leisurely travel day spent packing in the morning, getting to the airport in the afternoon, and getting to your destination in the evening. This was silly logic. The airport is best experienced in a slight delirium, as that is the state they’ll put you in anyway. What sense is there being wide awake to go through security? You know you’re going to shuffle your way through the terminals. You know you’re going to end up sitting on the floor as you wait for your plane. Then, once you are in the air it’s better to give yourself a shot at nodding off because you’re already tired from being sleep deprived after getting up at 5:00am. And hell, once you get to your destination, you at least have the option to still enjoy your day even if it requires a few more coffees or energy drinks than your heart can handle.
