[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP who said 8pm.  Eat dinner at 5 or 6.  Just take sleeping pills on the plane and make sure you get at least 4 hours of sleep.  You will not only be fine but have fun.  Freaking out about it won't help.[/quote]

OP here. This was the original plan but the new flight takes off a 6:10pm our time and it’s only 6 hours long. So to get 4 hours we’d need to be asleep by 8pm. It’s not that we aren’t willing to try - we are - but it just seems difficult. I’m so annoyed at Virgin. We chose them over others because they had one of the later flights. Ugh. [/quote]

Try not to overthink this. You might feel great on arrival day, you might not. But it’s a day and you will be fine the next day. I travel to London several times a year and I’m usually fine on arrival day with a morning shower, coffee, and walking. [/quote]

Thanks. You are right that I am overthinking it. [/quote]

You know, it’s a real mindf$& especially for moms because we’re kind of supposed to overthink everything and that’s how we magically have the gear everyone needs and the bandaid at the right time and the schedule that keeps everyone happy. But then at some point you have to just adopt a positive mind set and start to roll with the punches. Segregate 10% of your brain to keep looking ahead so that you can do things like buy the airport granola bars that will be so clutch for everyone in 3 hours without allowing that part of your brain to despair about how everyone is exhausted because you didn’t book a nap room even though you agonized over it for days and did tons of research. Easy peasy, right?

Maybe go to the Anthony McCall exhibit at the Tate Modern. That looks like it could be fun if you’re really sleepy. [/quote]
