Homeward bound from an incredible journey
Mood:  lucky
Now Playing: "Give Me the Beat Boys," Doobie Brothers
We left the house at 5 a.m. and were picked up by a Mercedes to drive us to the airport. We lounged around the airport and bought two books "Mr. Happy" and "Little Miss Bossy," childhood favorites, of course. We met random people and ended up sitting with this older man. We got on the plane and met a young, very cute, British man. I slept a bit on the flight but was starting to feel sick. We arrived in Houston and had to wait through the lines at Customs and waited about 30 minutes for our luggage. We finally headed home. I drove from Houston to Baton Rouge in about 3 hours and 45 minutes. FABULOUS! All in all, the trip was incredible. The people were fascinating and intelligent and the landscape was beautiful. I am more proud that we navigated our way around a city of 8 or 9 million people, essentially on our own! I would love to go back and eagerly anticipate my next European trip!
