Following a long, sleepless overnight flight from Chicago, both women were exhausted when they checked into their hotel at 3:00 PM. They decided to take a short nap before their dinner reservation in the hotel’s elegant dining room. When they awoke at 6:00, they began their preparations. Dressing in sequin gowns and high heel shoes, they strolled into the dining room with their heads held high.They didn’t understand the maitre-d’s funny look until he said, “Good morning. Welcome to breakfast.”

Whoops! Jet lag can be so exhausting! But can you ever really be too overdressed? Sounds like a perfect opportunity for a nice tea.

Funny. Not surprising. I’m sure others have also been tricked by jet lag.

Time to order champagne and act like you are just getting home from a party. This was fun.

Thanks so much everybody for your comments. This is based on a true story told to me while on vacation in London. The two women laughed all the way through breakfast in their sequin gowns.

This story left me smiling. Anyway, don't we learn breakfast is the most important meal of the day? Maybe it is the meal we should dress up for.
