The Johnsons Are Home

Friends,

We are safely home and glad to be back. Always are after a lengthy trip. Always appreciate the USA even more with our travel.

Our flight back was uneventful...a good thing. On the way over the pond we had a screaming tot in our section of the plane who rarely stopped. No rest! On the way back, no “ankle biters,” a term we learned from our British friends. The flight over took 8 hours; we had tremendous tail winds. The flight back took 10 hours—headwinds.

We got to our house about 4:30 pm on Friday and decided that we wanted Mexican food. That was our dinner. We had some fine meals aboard Queen Elizabeth but are ready for our own southern cuisine and home cooking now. I have been craving a hot dog for 3 days!

This morning, up at 5 am, we began to empty the suitcases. Where are you when we need you??? I hate that job. Clothes are being washed, souvenirs sorted and the bags zipped up to go to the attic. Since we got up so early, we will probably need a nap this afternoon.

We’ve got the travel bug out of our system for a while. We haven’t even discussed where the next trip will take us. (Got to finish paying for this one, too)

Hope to see some of you soon and hear from others of you via email.

Love,
ML
