Ah, the joy of business class!  On the way back from Korea (more on that later) Paula and I were able to upgrade to business class.  When you’re dealing with a flight from Japan to San Francisco this is a life saver.  My flight left Tokyo around 10am on Wednesday and arrived in California at around 10am on Wednesday.  I watched Shrek 2 while eating dinner then took a Tylenol PM & a melatonin and slept for about 5 hours.  After a 2hr nap Wednesday afternoon my jetlag is gone (but don’t tell my boss, I may still get some slacker mileage out of this ).  Tylenol PM + 3mg of melatonin, my cure for jetlag, look into it.
