    I hope your trip home is not too uncomfortable; like some cute little girl in some movie was known to say: "there's no place like home"; and the older you get, no matter how much you enjoy wandering, the more that phrase seems to be cogent.

    But Rrumbler, that little girl was from Kansas, so she had good reason for that quote!
    As for jb suffering "discomfort", I know from direct experience that it's limited to nicotine withdrawal from being away from his beloved ciggies for the long flight!!

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    jb, it's been a good read of another good trip of learning. You have a way of turning a trip/holiday into a search for information.

    Matt, my formative years were spent in Missouri (Mizzery) and I'm well aware of the jabs back & forth across the line. I just couldn't pass up the Dorothy quote (last line from "The Wizard of Oz" movie....)

    I'm okay with most things if I'm able to have a ciggie to prevent me from erupting with all the tact and finesse of a volcano...
