Blogging off, for now!!

Well, we are now safely back home in Tucson -- and WOW, what a trip! We would like to thank everyone who went with us -- we enjoyed having you and hearing your comments!

Like all return trips, it seemed to go on forever ... although to be honest (confession here!) we did get to the airport at 6 a.m. for a 10:30 a.m. flight ... we opened the airport up, as we had to wait for Security and United personnel to get to work! (which they did around 7...) The good news, though, is that Fiumicino has MAGNUM CLASSIC bars readily available! YEA! (I have been craving one since Matera, but it was so COLD and then we couldn't find any!!!) Plane trip was long -- almost 10 hours to Washington/Dulles -- and I re-watch Mamma Mia and Journey to the Center of the Earth...also added The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Part II and Mummy III ... hmmm...Got to Dulles on time, and transferred to the LAX flight -- again, LONG -- almost 6 hours!! Was fair to partly unconscious by that time...Stumbled off the plane, R went for the car the hotel, and I got the luggage. Collected everything in a timely manner, and we were off to Arthur and Anne Vaughan's for the night!

Anne had a wonderful dinner of roast sirloin and veggies and cheese and bread waiting for us ... YUM! Chatted until after 11, then collapsed...me until 7:15 a.m. and R until 2 ... then made the drive back to Tucson on Tuesday. Got home around 6.
Would love to say that my jet-lag is better, but it's 3:50 a.m. and I'm blogging...so...thanks again for coming along with us! See you for our next adventure!!

Much love,
m
