Home again

So I'm back home, slightly rested, laundry finishing, and missing pretzels. The flight home was pretty uneventful except that I had airline food that was actually edible. I watched about 10 episodes of The Big Bang Theory on the plane and slept the rest of the way. A short layover in Dallas and a phone call to my mom to let her know I was back on her half of the world, then a quick flight back home to San Jose. It was nice to be back in my own bed again, but I still haven't slept the night through. Having a restless dog doesn't help matters any.

I think I've adjusted back well to the time zone, but I did start to come down with a sore throat and cough my last night in Germany. That has now turned in to a sinus cold and I can't stop blowing my nose. It's a good thing I have the weekend to rest up and catch up. I was supposed to go to an end of year work lunch on Friday, but I wound up staying home and resting instead.

I'm excited to tell people that I've now been to Germany. I have been wanting to go for so many years and I'm glad that I finally did. I feel a little bit more complete and accomplished now. I can say that I've finally done something that I've always talked about. I have great memories, feelings, and associations from my trip that I will always carry with me. My roommate asked me today if I would go back. I told him most definitely.

If anyone is reading this at all, I will definitely keep up. Writing has always been an interest of mine and doing this blog has gotten me primed again. There are many more trips to be taken and adventures to be had. Anyone looking to hire a part time secret agent man???
