Home Again

I'm pleased to report that yesterday at noon I arrived home in Grand Rapids. It was a long couple of days of traveling--my flight from Johannesburg to Atlanta was 16 hours. But the seats were wider and had more legroom than you get on a domestic flight, so it wasn't so bad.

I was disappointed to find that one piece of luggage did not make it on the flight to Atlanta. It may be on its way today. Also, customs went through my bags behind the scenes and re-packed them in a less than secure way. A couple of ceramic pieces are broken, but I might be able to salvage them with patience and some Crazy Glue. However, these are minor inconveniences.

All in all, it was a great trip. But, as the great American philosopher Dorothy Gale once said, "There's no place like home."
