Strange as it seems and feels, we're back. You know, it was weird, while we were in Italy, the world on this side of the ocean seemed like a dream (all be it, a bad one right now). And the world over there seemed real (like if I just stayed in Italy, nothing bad was happening or would happen). Now we're back, and it feels like Italy was all the dream already.
Anyway, flight home was easy peasy though long (watched three shows on Chris's computer, a CSI, a Closer and the pilot episode of Fringe, which by the way was real intense). Got through immigration (no problems), Customs (almost problem), and home (no problems). Went out for Mexican last night (yummy spicy food and margaritas), then to book club, and managed to sleep from about 9:45 until just about 5, then dozed to six.
Seeing the oncologist today at 11:00 but until then, I'm sifting through mails, catching up on e-mails, paying bills, laundry - you know the drill.
I'll be posting more stories and pictures during the week, so stay tuned!

Glad you are home safe and sound. Was great seeing you, if only for a short time. Can't wait to read about the rest of your adventures (ours were super!!). Why did you almost have a prob with customs by the way? Good luck with the doc later. All the best!!

Lisa, we found something else to keep us occupied ;D.
Dorit, Chris walked ahead of me as we were going through Customs, and the agent didn't know to whom I belonged and stopped me. Meanwhile, Chris had my passport, had no idea what was going on and kept going (he didn't hear us call to him). Finally, though he did, and once we showed my passport to the agent, we were fine.
