Well, after 42 straight hours without sleep, and after three airports and three flights, we're back home. It was an adventure, although not quite the way we had planned. Three great weeks instead of eight, but at least we're home and I was a little nervous, for a while anyway, that we might get stranded somewhere indefinitely. Fortunately that was not the case, now to get to work on the next one! (whenever *that* may be.....)
