Back Home Again

Well, Monday was a long day - 33 hours in fact. I left our hotel in Nice,
France at 5:45 am and flew to Zurich (1.5 hours) then after a 2 hour layover on to Dallas (10.5 hours) and was able to grab an earlier flight to Orange County arriving home at 6 pm and nine time zones later. I'll pick up my checked bag later today.

I was able to sleep/nap about an hour on the Dallas leg and about two on the OC portion. Arriving home to only two phone messages, but two LARGE piles of mail, Darla greeted me with a plate of pork, green beans and rice, which I was too tired to eat or at least my stomach was too confused. It will make a great dinner tonight.

Gracie was glad to see me and is requiring a lot of petting and only bit me once as a reminder that I haven't been around in two weeks.

I'm up early today, around 4:30, and I've showered and will head off to work after some internet e-mail reading/deleting in a little while.

I'll be posting about our GREAT trip over the next few days, so keep checking back. And, by the way, Carolyn is in Edinburgh with Ashley and Bryce for a nine day extension on her vacation.
