Never Gonna Leave NOLA again

So, I've been back almost two days.  Apologies on not blogging.  I'm sure that those of you I hadn't already talked to assumed that I in fact made it home rather than dying trapped in Newark (a real possibility for a while there).  Apologies if I did in fact cause anyone any concerned (it was unintentionally done and I'm sure of short duration).

It's good to be back; will be better once I am able to sleep past 4 am (10 am London time).  But there is air-conditioning, preservatives, good food and warm showers, so a little sleep deprivation isn't too big a deal.  I've gotten rather used to it.

The trip was amazing, wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, but six weeks is a long time to be away from home.  And everything you know.  And your dog.  I'd say the traveling bug is out of my system for at least a year or so.  

It appears that my blog has come to the natural end of its life cycle; otherwise I will be one of those people constantly broadcasting all of their thoughts and emotions into the universe.  And I don't think anyone really wants that.

So, I leave you all.  I'll see all of you in the real world soon.  Thanks to those who tolerated my incessant whining about bad weather, unremarkable food, and basic cultural differences.

Cheers!
