Morning comes very early when you have to travel 9 time zones.<\/p>\n

At least we knew we could sleep on the plane. But we had to stagger around through the maze of duty free shops until then.<\/p>\n

What is the deal with spending hundred of dollars on hundreds of perfume? And alcohol? These are completely consumable.<\/p>\n

I think it is much better to get jewelry. Even costume jewelry will have some value in ten years. Sterling silver is super cheap now.<\/p>\n

How long to you think the Brittany Spears scent of the summer will last? And ALCOHOL? please.<\/p>\n

We just wanted to get on the plane, and get under a cozy first class blanket. Fortunately, it wasn’t long.<\/p>\n

Chris fell asleep almost immediately. But this was my chance to play with the toys.<\/p>\n

They had a big selection of movies. Not just one! You know, every time I see a movie on a plane, it makes me cry. What is up with that? Why do they pick these sappy movies that pull me in and start the tears flowing?<\/p>\n

I ended up watching the Pursuit of Happyness. Sniffled my way through it.<\/p>\n

Chris slept the whole way. He had no interest in the stupid airplane movies. I got a some good hours of sleep too<\/p>\n

New York arrived eventually. We went through customs, which was basically a forality.We returned to the admirals club, took a shower and killed more time. It was exciting to be around the news in English. As usual, not much happened during our absence.<\/p>\n

It was also good to be back in a place where we could use a few dollars to buy cheap food.<\/p>\n

We exited LAX at about midnight. I drove home, since Chris was weak. There was no traffic, of course.<\/p>\n

The cat was very very glad to see us.<\/p>\n

\nWe were greeted by a new backyard, since the construction on our new addition had begun.<\/p>\n

We wandered around in the dark to see what could be seen.<\/p>\n

It was good to be home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
