The trip was good, however too short and exhausting. My luck with luggage has been deteriorating since a few years back, this time my bag was late on both trips, in fact I am still waiting for one bag to be delivered tomorrow.
The major surprise, or the lack thereof, is that the world had remained largely as is while I was stuck on an island for 18 months.
Hooah!
