What it takes to travel to the other side of the world

My timeline:
April 30
5:30pm Arrival at Wpg Airport to clear customs
8:30pm Departure to Vancouver
9:30pm Arrival in Vancouver (11:30pm Wpg time)
May 1
2:55am Departure to Hong Kong (4:55am Wpg time)
May 2
6:55am Arrival in Hong Kong (5:55pm Wpg time (May 1))
8:55am Departure to Bangkok (7:55pm Wpg time (May 1))
10:35am Arrival in Bangkok (10:35pm Wpg time (May 1))
We still had a two hour drive from the airport to our apartments, a meeting at the school another 3 to Hua-Hin, and dinner once we got there. No one got any sleep until 10:00pm that night (10:00am Wpg time (May 2). Yes, I'm now exactly 12 hours ahead of you guys in Winnipeg))
At least most of us (a pretty ridiculous percentage actually) had laptops with us to help pass the time during the 6 hour stopover in Vancouver.
