The blog is now officially closed until our next trip or other significant reason to post.
The last night in London at the airport was boring except for the fact that we got to watch the debut first episode of the new Downton Abbey season! It debuts in the UK long before it does in the US.
Arriving early at Gatwick Airport for the flight, we had a breakfast at the airport McDonalds! Sausage McMuffin with Egg and Hash Browns tasted exactly like they do at home. Duty free shopping was uninspiring, but Elaine picked up a few “Stay Calm and Carry On” dish towels.
The flight was uneventful although seemingly endless. Once again Virgin Atlantic had the bags of premium economy passengers on the carousal first, a nice perk. Customs clearance was a little slow as a plane from Panama was clearing at the same time we were. Can’t trust those Panamanians, I guess.
Dinner was at Carrabba’s and the night at SpringHill Suites in Henderson. We were up at dawn to get on the road and were home before noon.
Welcome home, travelers!
Dear Elaine & Joe,
Now that you’re home do you think you could continue the blog a while longer? You know, photograph those delicious meals Elaine makes and chronicle your comings and goings, day by day. We’ve gotten so used to anticipating each day’s posting that it will be hard to go cold turkey now. Surely there are some churches and museums that you can visit in Scottsdale. Don’t just leave us hanging….. Welcome back to the USA.

Yes, Mianne, you are right. I was so bored today, I made home made chicken soup! We want MORE!
