Honey, We're Home...

We got back home today after 20 hours of travel- from Melbourne to Los Angeles, then on to Portland. The trip went smoothly except for the bulk of our luggage not joining us until tonight (they nicely delivered it to our place). I got maybe an hour's sleep so looking forward to catching up the next few days. I saw a wonderful movie, "The Namesake" during the flight, based on Jumpa Lahiri's book of the same title; I recommend it. It is surreal to be back, and we are getting reaquainted with our home. The cats will be making their own trip from Colorado via plane sometime in the next week and we'll enjoy getting reaquainted with them, too. What did I miss the most, you wonder? My immediate answer is our cats and our friends/family...I also missed biking/walking around the neighborshood, being able to find exactly what I need at the grocery store, browsing at Powell's books, and my very comfy bed.
