We’re back home! As much as we love traveling to lands distant and near, it’s always a delight to return home.

Our flight from IAH to COS was on time and uneventful … but it sure was cold on the aircraft. The flight attendant had an ingenious method to help me stay warm. She filled a plastic water bottle with hot water, put a latex glove over it to create an extra layer of heat protection, and put the bottle in a paper cup so I could hold it without burning myself.

Once we landed at 1:30p and collected our bags, an Uber whisked us home.
