✈️ English Conversation Practice | Travel Plans

Let’s practice English conversation.

So, when do you leave for London?

Tomorrow night.

So,  you're taking the red eye? A  red eye is an overnight flight.  

Brutal, I cannot sleep on planes.

I can, so I'm not worried about that, but the jet lag will be tough.

Jet lag is when your body has a  hard time adjusting to a new time zone.   

Well, just douse yourself in lattes your first day. 

To douse something means to pour liquid over it, to soak it.

Of course, this is a joke. I don't actually mean to pour lattes on your head. I just mean drink a lot of coffee.

I do love a good latte.

Then knock yourself out with sleeping pills the first night.

To be knocked out means to be made unconscious, like if you got hit in the head with something.

But we also use it to describe sleeping very deeply.  

Yeah, I'll do that. I do want to get on that new  time zone quickly since it's such a short trip.
