Homeward Bound

Friday, 12 September, we finished packing, washed our sheets, partially made the bed, ate breakfast, and headed to Gatwick Airport for our journey home. We booked our flight through Delta, partners with Virgin Atlantic who took us all the way to Las Vegas where we caught a flight to SLC. The flight was great and watching 3 movies made the time fly. Uncle picked us up and after dropping him at Ann's work, we headed home to unpack and deal with a wet basement carpet. It seems they had a tremendous storm while we were gone and it flooded many basements including Stephen's and ours. We took an Ambien and slept well. We are flagging a bit this afternoon, but will make it through to bedtime I am sure.

 Saying goodbye at Gatwick, which is completely redone

and very nice

 Our big ol' 747 -- we had a nice little nest at the rear of 

the plane where it narrows to two seats on each side

Kind of hard to be so near to home, yet so far

This was a great trip and I feel like we really helped, especially Kris who was so good with the baby. Me, I can cook, but that's about all I was good for. As always, we have mixed feelings being home: there is nothing like your own bed and bathroom, but there is also no place like England. I guess we will have to go again sometime.

That's all for now.
