Tomorrow morning we're all going to the airport. Kathy is heading home with the kids while I take a short hop back up to Frankfurt for a couple days - we've got a customer visiting our facility in Hanau. I fly home this Thursday.
Kathy packed roughly 800 pounds of stuff into our luggage while I was out of town in Denmark & Sweden this week. All I have to do is pack my clothes tonight and we're ready to head out at the crack of dawn, dump our baggage, return our cars to Hertz, and go.
I believe the kids think they're going to end up trick or treating Saturday night (which wouldn't be a horrible way to keep them up late enough to start the process of re-setting their internal clocks) but we'll see what happens. After ten plus hours in airplanes and fifteen or sixteen hours of total travel time we'll see how chipper they are. I have to say she's pretty amazing, able & willing to travel with a half ton of baggage plus three young boys from continent to continent. All hail Kathy!!! Someone please arrange some nights out when she gets back - she's been with the boys nearly constantly for 2 1/2 months and seems to be having some girlfriend withdrawal.
It feels simultaneously as if we have been gone for ages and as if we've blinked our eyes and the time was gone. It's been a great experience but we're all looking forward to seeing home again. I could really go for a Jack's frozen pizza and a liter of mountain dew... and a car that isn't a Fiat or Renault... and a Coke that tastes like a real Coke... and cable TV in english... and my Martin... and a Chipotle... and a decent steak... Uh, and you too of course! :) Seriously though we really do miss everyone a lot and can't wait to see you again.
