Really, it's supposed to be September 22, but I'm late. I did however, write this post on September 22, but was waiting for Surani to send me Patrick's "search" picture.

Another journey home, almost as bad as the trip back from Australia! Didn't sleep well, as I knew we had to be in the hotel lobby at 0410. Got a wake up call at 0350, and we all made it downstairs at the appointed time. Not sure how Surani and Patrick have done it, as they got back from their trip to Auschwitz at midnight.
We had a box lunch (box breakfast?) consisting of a sandwich, apple, orange juice, and banana with some welcome hot coffee. Ate what we could, Dagmar showed up with the bus, and off we went for the short ride to the airport.
First security of whole trip where we had to take off our shoes, plus take the computer out of its approved case! In addition, Patrick must have looked like a terrorist of some kind as he got a total pat down, wanded too, and had his carry on searched.
Back to Frankfurt and the normal run through the airport. I must be getting used to it, as it didn't seem as bad as the first time.
After a torturous 11 hour flight, we arrived at San Francisco, 18 hours after we started at the Polonia Palace in Warsaw.

Really enjoyed seeing this, new to me, part of the world. I also enjoyed travel
ing with Surani and Patrick, and Patrick is a really a great guy to hang around with. Next trip for me is a quilting retreat to Tahoe next week...until then, all things in moderation, including moderation.
