Thursday Night Drinks and Dinner

Thursday was something of a lost day with travel. We arrived at noon, our room wasn't ready, so I slept on the lobby couch (yes, I was that tired after traveling 10 hours and losing 7 hours in the time change). When we finally got to our room, I immediately crashed until dinner that evening. Bummer that it was a lost day, but when I got up for dinner, I felt like my time clock had adjusted and the rest of the trip I was right on schedule!
