So, to wrap this up over our imaginary coffee: Don’t fear the time difference. There isn’t one.
When it’s 3:00 PM in rainy Birmingham, it’s 4:00 PM in sunny Tenerife. When you’re freezing at 11:00 PM in November, they’re laughing at midnight in a light jacket.
It’s the world’s smallest time zone hurdle. The only thing you need to adjust is your drink order (from tea to sangria).
Set your watch ahead by one hour the moment you board the plane. Or don't. Keep it on English time. Then, when you check into your hotel at 2:00 PM (their time), you can look at your watch and go, “Wow, it’s only 1:00 PM. Look how efficient I am!”
You’ll feel like you’ve hacked reality. You haven’t. You’ve just gone to Tenerife. Go on. Book the flight. The clock is waiting.
