Why are you going all Valerie Cherish on me?
I'm baaa-aaack!And, of course, as exhausted as I was during the day of travel, I'm now slightly wired. Only slightly--enough to check my email and open my mail; by the time I crawl into bed, I'll be asleep in minutes. I'll leave the deconstruction of my suitcase for tomorrow.
Impressive: I managed to come back with one less bag than I went with. I went with a suitcase and a checked backpack, and then my carry-on backpack and my purse. I came back minus the checked backpack.
Not so impressive (but pretty funny, I think): I couldn't quite fit my cosmetic case and one sweater into either my suitcase or my carry-on, so I packed them in a shoebox, taped it shut, and checked the shoebox.
Yes, one of my pieces of checked luggage was a shoebox.
No major delays this time--no sleeping in hotels, although this time, I wouldn't have minded. Not that it was a huge thing last time, but you know.
I had something incredibly witty and fun to say, but I lost it. Maybe I'm more tired than I feel at the moment. Probably, actually.
And fun? Being a vagabond, taking the bus slash subway home from the airport at 1:00 a.m. Dragging my suitcase down the street behind me, walking in the rain, talking to Kat on my phone, wearing high heels. I couldn't tell if I felt homeless, displaced after too much partying, or just plain strange. It's not that long, though, to take Metro to the airport from my house, though. As long as there's no strike, of course.
Anyways, I should probably drag my tired bones and my well-travelled suitcase upstairs and crawl into bed. More (plus all those pictures I promised) tomorrow.

I'm glad you are back. Did you get your Christmas present?
