it's 5am. coy and i though, have been awake since 4am. what's a guy got to do to sleep around here? first off, the new sport of choice to watch on tv when one can't sleep is handball. what are the rules? good question. at 4am i am not coherent enough to say. i do know you can dribble, travel, and falling down seems to be a good thing to do. secondly, i think i got eaten by a colony of bugs last night. thank goodness for malarone. third, i clogged the toilet. apparently the sign on the door, that says, "please do not throw in the toilet" means toilet paper, not something having to do with the aforementioned handball. right. so, going out to the pool at 3am to find the other bathroom is pretty neat. coy and i made a pact that we'd do our best to get oursleves regulated to the local time. we went so far as taking a nap yesterday, and even drinking singha beer before bed. well, that didn't work. new plan: no sleep... the staff here appears to be prepping breakfast. we are emptying out our trash can to fill it full of coffee. believe me, taking a shower in a coffee pot would be a better idea than taking one in our room. let's just say that the shower is not so much seperated from the rest of the bathroom. can a doctor please inform me if insect repellant can deter bites that already exist?

Kathy and I saw a show once that said to always lift the mattress, and behind the headboard before committing to sleep in a motel/hotel bed....., if a colony of bed-bugs exist, you can probably see their presence (or if the mattress is moving). Hopefully the bug bites are only minor irritants. I'm sure that you packed long sleeve shirts and beekeepers masks.....

I was the handball champ at my junior high. I wore a mitten to protect my hand. I still know nothing about handball.
Judging by my calculations of how long it takes your body to acclimate depending on the number of time zones crossed, I believe you'll be fully acclimated 48 hours prior to returning and starting the whole thing over again.
On a different note, this does give all new meaning to the phrase, "don't let the bed bugs bite......".
Hope the 'pros' outweigh the 'cons' and you're still laughing!
Hugs,
Mom
Hope this doesn't post twice! I didn't have a google account. Anyway, Dad is very jealous...we are stuck in Las Cruces, N.M. on the way home from Florida. It is snowing!! Sounds like you are having a great time. (Except for the bedbugs!) Be safe and have fun!! Jen really misses you, but she is happy for you as well.
Love, Mom and Dad
P.S. Dad says you better be calling into the shop!!! (Just kidding)
P.S. I read this to Dad, and he says he is NOT kidding about calling the shop!!!
Bed bugs really scare me. Mike you better not bring any home with you otherwise you are sleeping outside. You must have sweet blood and that is why the bugs like you. Can't wait to read about your newest adventures.
Love,
Jen
Wow, everything sounds amazing. Hopefully you'll bring back some good ping pong tips for me. I want more bug updates. Don't get anything that will hurt Mike's golf game, it's already bad enough.
