Home Sweet Home

What a blessing to be back home for a while. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the whole trip immensely. Rome was just wonderful... well you can tell from the pix that we saw all the hotspots (and the food!). But by the time we arrived home I had had it with airports, lost luggage (how did BA lose both my bags?), tight layovers and funny sleep schedules.

Now Leslie and I are gearing up with the new organizing business, Hector and I have a little weekend in Vegas planned on the 20th and I'm studying for my contractors license. All in all, very sensible and adult, wouldn't you say?... Check back in a few weeks and I'll be ready to hit the road.

We shipped a beautiful old brass chandelier from Cairo and it arrived yesterday in 1,000,000 pieces. I had packed it myself so I know that the foul Egyptian Customs/Antiquities people opened it up and didn't re-pack it properly. The cheap tin lamp we bought naturally arrived in perfect condition.
