Home, and a half year or so of cruising is over

We got home from Heathrow without any incidents or real inconveniences. The AA plane we drew had a smaller than usual premium economy section which placed our usual seats on the bulkhead. That was a surprise but only a small inconvenience as all the overheard bins were filled with big suitcases. We only had my purse and 2 small daypacks but since we had the bulkhead we had no floor storage. We eventually found space and kept my stuff on the floor or behind my back the rest of the time. We saw Pitch Perfect 2 and The Judge as movies. That was good because we missed them on release this spring. AA served beverages 3 times, hot lunch, an ice cream snack and a hot sandwich snack.

We were exhausted when we finally cleared immigration, got our rolling duffels and cleared customs. Though it was a beautiful day, we decided not to take the bus and walk home from the downtown bus depot. We could have taken the bus and then a cab the rest of the way, but Clay decided he'd had enough transportation adventures and we took a cab directly home.

All is well at home. The grass needed mowing and the cars need washing is all. It was good to sleep in our own bed. It was a luxury to be awakened by the sun this morning. To have stuffed French toast for a late breakfast with crisp bacon and a big mug of coffee and not to have to make small chat with strangers while doing it. Instead we watched the season premiere of Castle! We didn't have to rush to catch a car, a bus, a boat, a plane or a train. Did I miss anything? We have nothing we have to do and all day to do it. We have a one hour shorter weekend though. The time here changes tonight! So, one final and unexpected time change and then we can settle in at home for a while.

Next trip is my birthday to Universal Orlando's Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Diagon Alley. Diagon Alley has been built since our last birthday trip there! Looking forward to it. I will write about it back on the Road Trips with Bob blog.

This will be the last entry on this blog. It wasn't a 6-month World Cruise but we saw a lot. It'll do.
