Hey Nadi, I was awake then too. Not so much flushes as anxiety and the inability to figure out where my arms should go. Thrash, spin, sigh, repeat.
Regarding the holiday, I can understand where you are coming from. I'd rather be uncomfortable in the comfort of my own home--though I am usually fine when I get going. Then there's the thought of trying to unpack my extended frame from a airline seat after a long flight when my feet won't function after 10 minutes in the car...shudder. Visions of staggering to my feet, taking two steps, falling to my knees and then suffering the humiliation of the whole plane thinking I was pissed as I thrash around in the aisle trying to get upright...Drugs would be the only answer:)
I guess it's too late to apply for a singles supplement. Maybe you can splurge and have a room to yourself for a couple of nights. Don't try and carry the spritzer onto the plane with water in it and pack an extra in your luggage in case some officious idiot decides you are a threat to world safety because you are carting over 30mls of fluid or something that could potentially be a weapon (little do they know we are much more dangerous when denied small comforts)
