June 28: Today we awoke at 4:30. We wanted to catch a bus to the airport by 5:30, because our flight leaves at 7:30. All went according to plan and we caught our flight from Munich to Heathrow. Unfortunately, there was a delay at Heathrow and we missed our connection in Charlotte, North Carolina. Fortunately, we were among the first through Customs, even though our mushrooms (the ones I bought in Verdun) caused us to be inspected. There were quite a few people who needed to re-book flights to RSW, so it was good we were at the head of the line, for once. The agent wanted to put us on a morning flight, but I had to work and we had absolutely no clean clothes left. We had to sit in the Charlotte Airport for about 6 hours--it was torture--but we finally got a flight home. Since we arrived at 1 a.m., we hailed a cab and got home at 1:30 a.m. We had a great trip, but there's no place like home.
8:30 a.m. the next morning, after 30 hours of travel and 5 of sleep, I'm at work.
