Home again.

It's my first time blogging from bed at home and it's nowhere near as exciting.  Not too painful packing up last night and we were out the door at 7 am.  Walked a block and a half to a stop for the Aerobus which gets you to the airport quickly without having to schlep all your bags very far.  


We were all pretty awake, ready for the long trip home.


Sully's new toy airplane, part of spending all of our Euro coins.


The flights home (through Atlanta) could not have gone much smoother although it was pretty exhausting for all.  Long day of following the sun west.  About 22 hours door to door.  M slept for maybe 45 minutes and Henry not at all on the plane.  They both crashed hard on the Max ride home.  Kids are all in bed, asleep and it's not yet 9 pm, though my laptop clock now says 5:56 am.  Time for sleep.  I'm sure there will be more time for closing thoughts tomorrow.

  1. So glad you are safely home after a fabulous month! I'm certain that Dougie was thrilled to see you. All is well here, the weather is perfect, though our colleagues are beginning to depart. We've agreed that we'd better not wait another 50 years for our next reunion; we will surely all be pushing up daisies before then!

  3. Such a wonderful and inspiring trip. Thanks for the blog. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now that I don't have this to look forward to each day.

  4. Ditto, ditto, ditto! What a wonderful adventure. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Now if I could only motivate the rest of my family to do something like this. Only half of us have wanderlust which means your blog was inspiring and tortuous for me all at the same time. Glad you arrived home safely!

  5. Thank everyone for reading and for your great comments. It was really fun writing the blog, and now we have a record of our adventures too. We plan to make the blog into a photo book soon. I have some closing thoughts, so one more post soon to come...
