Our home-leave has finally ended

I never thought I would be so anxious to get home from a trip because I usually want it to last as long as I can manage to stay away but I am glad we made it back. We left on July 3 and came back August 18th, because of delays and cancellations. 

This last trip had its ups and downs. Life is like that. We go through headaches and happy exuberant moments. Here is a recap:

My first flight inside a private plane

American flags everywhere due to the 4th of July Holiday

Going to Tuscanos, a Brazilian Restaurant and no one is wearing masks

Feeling sad and heart broken
