Back in the USA

Well, after nearly 9 months, I've made my first trip back to the US for the holidays. The trip home started off well with me waking up an hour later than planned because my alarm was set wrong. But, I made the flight without problem and made it home in one piece. Now I have about 3 weeks to load up on all the stuff I haven't been able to do, buy, or eat while away. The one thing I notice right away is how hard it is to drive so slow. That, and the potholes. And the iced tea, gallons and gallons of glorious iced tea.
