Sounds like you had a wonderful vacation and a much needed time away!
The airport incident is so funny. I think it happens a lot more than people will admit!
It's funny how we never seem to look like our pictures.
When I met Shelley at the airport in Portland, I held up a huge (well 11 x 8) sign with her name on it! We had video chatted a couple of times so I figured I would recognize her and she, me, but I wanted to make her feel like she was someone important arriving at the airport. You all have seen those limo drivers with their signs with customers names! Mine was on the back of a yellow legal pad written in black ink....she laughed! It was funny.
Anyway, I am glad you had a restful time and thanks so much for sharing your vacation with us! (glad you kept warm too!)
