Back Home Again

A bit of a belated post, but we got back to Detroit last evening after a 22 hour travel day. Overall the trip went pretty well. The SAS flight was very good - I'd fly them again. Good service, personal movie screens and nice meals. We did have some tense moments at Dullas (Washington DC) since we had to pass thru Customs and change from SAS to United. We had 2 hours between flights and as we were taxing to the gate the flight attendant announced that there was a 1+ hour wait at Immigration. Fortunately the line moved rather quickly, we flew through Customs, and made it to the gate for our next flight just 15 minutes before they started boarding.

Our flight to Detroit left the gate ahead of schedule, but due to weather congestion over the east coast, we had to power down and sit on the taxiway for 35 minutes before taking off. But with that assist I nearly finished my 3rd book of the trip.

All in all we ended up getting home pretty late after a long day. We had a late pizza supper, left the suitcases for the morning and hit the sack. We both woke up early today so by 8:00 a.m. we had all suitcases unpacked and many other post-vacation tasks competed.

That wraps up this trip. Mary and I agree this was our best cruise since Alaska. In some respects it might have been a bit better, but your first cruise is always special. I hope you enjoyed traveling along with us!
