Return...Reality?

A few shots of our 'Red Tail' including one of us 'slumbering'upstairs...

We should know by now that every time we catch an early morning Northwest/Delta flight from Asia that requires us to be at the airport at 3AM, we never sleep even though we try. We just shouldn't try! However as posted on July 6, we were excited that I got upgraded to Business Class from Singapore to Tokyo. I let Andrea take this leg as I knew I would have it from Tokyo to LAX. However the exit row that Andrea was given from Tokyo to LA was not an exit seat at all but something even worse than a regular seat with a nervous flier on one side and obnoxious ones in front of her. Knowing that Andrea was not having a fun time in the back put a little damper on my experience up top. By the time we arrived in LA we had missed our connecting flight to Seattle and by the time we laid our heads to rest that evening we decided we had been 'up' for 51 hours!

We promptly both got nasty colds which laid us low and has been one of the reasons we are just catching up on the blog now. Haven't really had time to truly reflect and summarize this past year. Andrea wasted no time in starting to take care of the many details involved in starting grad school on the other side of the country. We both have been preparing for the move. We have uploaded a link to some of the photos from our time in Asia that seem to best summarize the past months there - so please enjoy them. And know that we do have a couple more posts coming including the ones we have promised but haven't posted yet - Obama, The Khlong Boat etc...
