We took the 4 AM shuttle to the airport. We stink, we're exhausted and we desperately want to be home. Our 3 hour layover in Atlanta turned into 5 hours because of a thunderstorm, but we made it back to St. Louis before dark. Our cats were feral and our apt is a disaster of semi-unpacked boxes, but it's home.
It will be years before we have this much time off again, so we're happy that we took advantage of it. We learned what we like to do, don't like to do, and how to travel well together with very little.
Awesome. We hope to be like you when we grow up. - rob
