I keep thinking of Tim Roth yelling "I am not a moppet" I've been reading your nice traveling bits and I feel so bad for you. Not to be this downer, but whenever I travel, the going home part is usually the worst. That is, all of the bad things happen when trying to get back home. Missed flight, no food, interogated at the airport, flat tires,bad food,speeding tickets. It just makes getting home even more of a lovely thing.
