Traveling Home

We woke up this morning and said goodbye to the rest of the family. They were in a hurry to get out the door since they have long drives and borders might be crowded. We didn’t even manage to get a photo. Rats!

I did take a few shots of our rooms at the villa though …

After packing, cleaning, and sitting around for as long as we could, we took a taxi to Trogir and spent time at a restaurant, getting breakfast and killing more time.

Then it was another taxi to the airport. With still MORE time to waste, we sat in the lounge and relaxed. For over two hours. So it goes.

Travel days are often a lot of sitting around and doing nothing days.

The flight was uneventful, but I shot a few things through my dirty windows.

I had no choice but to take two photos in the bathroom stall at the airport. First, the “Dan” guy, and then the fact that they want us to clean the toilet seat. Heh. Made me laugh.

We then had to walk to the shuttle and after that walk to the airport hotel. Again, nothing thrilling. But the woman who checked us in said we had a room with a great view. Um. Okay.

Then it was a restaurant at the hotel and now we are going to try and get to sleep early because … ARGH! … United gave Dan his boarding pass when he checked in, but they wouldn’t give me mine. I don’t know if I’ve been flagged randomly or if something was wrong, but it’s the same info I used to check in when we came to Europe so my guess is a random flagging. This means we have to get to the airport a bit earlier just to be sure there are no problems. Or maybe Dan will fly home and I’ll spend a week in Paris. That wouldn’t be too bad … would it? 😉

Oh … and prior to writing this I wrote to my students to say we could start lessons this week. Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it’s off to work I go.

And now goodnight.
