Isn’t it amazing how time flies when you’re not paying attention? It has now been 155 days since we left Johannesburg on Christmas Eve. We’ve seen summer and autumn and are standing on the brink of winter, our fifth mensiversary, if you will.
Searching through my pictures for an appropriate image to associate with this subject, I happened to find this picture. It was taken during the second half of January 2011 and it shows our waking/sleeping adjusted hours timetable based on my planned JAC project, a highly-successful (in my opinion) program to maximise one’s acclimatisation to adjusting to vastly differing time-zones over a short period of time.
(Above): The last few days of the JAC project, with departure from Cape Town on holiday to New Zealand on 2 February 2011. The times in brackets refer to JAC-time, for Sunday 31 January, we went to bed at 1:30pm (as the neighbours were preparing to have lunch) and we were due to wake up that evening at 9:30pm to start our Monday morning. It sounded strange, but worked out perfectly well.
