We are back in the USA!
Our trip home was full of disasters. We got stuck in London for a day and a night and then when we finally arrived at JFK, none of our bags had made it. Thankfully, the cat had flown by himself the day before we left and arrived safely.
We stayed with our gracious friends Daniel and Amy in NYC and were just estatic about being back in New York. It really is the best city ever and so nice to do familiar things, like go to the deli and get egg and a bagel and coffee, speak english, and run into people on the streets. We waited for our bags to make it while we hung out with friends and walked around the city. Some of our bags were delivered, and then we ended up hunting down the rest at the airport.
When Ben found them, we left for Virginia to stay with my famliy. So that's where we are now and it's great. The grocery stores and tv channels here are so overwhelming to us in the amount of choices. Everything is so much easier here than in Italy and nice and convienient.
Next stop, Tennessee, to see Ben's family and go to the lakehouse.
Oh, and we got new cell phone numbers too
