Home again, home again ...

We've made it safely back to Philly. After an awesome breakfast at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, we said goodbye to Lucie and Richie and hopped our flight back home. The trip was uneventful, but we did have a bit of a scare in the PHL baggage claim (What, baggage problems at the philly airport? Never ...). They had to shut our carousel down for a while because a bag was caught in the conveyor down below. Of course we assumed it was one of our strappy backpacks gumming up the works. We managed to travel all over Southeast Asia without a baggage hitch, but, you know, it's PHL. Turned out someone else's bag was causing the problems, and after a bit of standing around our bags made it out intact.

We got home to find that Garrett, our renter, left the house significantly cleaner than we left it on the way out. Thank you, Garrett. Unfortunately, it seems our house has developed some sort of wiring issue where the circuit serving most of the upstairs trips its breaker at random intervals, so Meg will get to have fun dealing with that before she starts work next week.

I'm in Philly this week, but head to Dubuque next week for work. There's not much to do in Dubuque, so maybe I'll continue the blog there. Not quite as exotic and exciting as Asia, but it'd keep me entertained. We'll see.

Enjoy.

SO glad you're home safely!
Dubuque may actually be more exotic than SE Asia, since I suspect fewer of your friends have been there.
Looking forward to more blog from you.
Love,
Mom Karen

So, how's Dubuque? What's going on there? Have you been trying any tasty new restaurants? I thought you were going to keep blogging. Come on!
