Welcome Home

After a very long day of traveling yesterday we finally made it home. We woke up in Maine and went back through Lexington to see if Ron and Mary Jean's camera battery charger was at the hotel there (it wasn't). Then it was on to Rhode Island. We had just enough time to maybe see a bit of downtown and grab some lunch. Providence was a very confusing city. We made our way to the outskirts of downtown and Kent parked the car in a spot we both knew was still a ways from the city center but others thought we should park so we did. We walked about 5 blocks and luckily found a pretty good restaurant. We ate up and headed out the the car rental return. That damn GPS, sometimes it comes in so handy but others it can lead you so wrong! We turned about 2 buildings before the right spot and ended up way lost. We pulled over and figured out where we were and got back on course. We finally got to the airport and of course my suitcase gets picked to get searched. We got there really early so we wandered the airport killing time. We finally got to Detroit and something was wrong with our plane so the moved us to another terminal and we were about an hour behind schedule. We finally made it home about 10:30 and made the long drive back to the valley by 12:30. Which of course was 2:30 eastern time. So I had been up from 7:00am to 2:30am. I was dead on my feet. I fell asleep in about 2 seconds. I was exhausted from my vacation and now I need a vacation from my vacation.
