Coming home from the first trip out west
5am and we're awake again taking care of final packing. Martin drove us and saw us off at the airport. This was a pretty excellent vacation. We hoped we could snooze substantially on the flight back. Mark also purchased some sleepy pills to hasten his rest. I didn't take any and barely had any sleep on the plane.
The skies were clearer than the flight out. Time sim scenery; meandering streams and rivers with oxbows dotting the flood plains; sink holes of Karst features; the surface looking like a distant topographic map with occasional cloud obscuring the view; almost microscopic vehicles glimpsing sunlight occasionally from some impossibly long narrow stretch of roadway below.
The hot breakfast sandwich, small fruit yogurt and banana on the plane wasn't so bad, a bit better than ultra-greasy fast food breakfast items. The lay over at St. Paul/Minneapolis was fairly uneventful. We were shortly on the way to Columbus. Mark was extremely thankful to be sitting the comfy seats of his car and have cds to listen to.
We got home around 9pm this Saturday. We stayed up late being lazy and slept most of the next day� back to the grind.
