I don't know for sure what hemisphere this is, what day it is, what time it is, but I had a hot bath 12 hours ago and I'm Fairly sure that didn't happen on the plane. The hotel stationery says Los Angeles. That means one more flight and we'll be home.
The last flight to Portland out of LA last night left at 10:30 PM, and we were still in line to go through customs at 10:30. Did you know that US Immigration now requires foriegn visitors to be photographed and fingerprinted upon entry to the US? Boy, does THAT slow the lines up!

But it was a marvelous trip and a grand way to turn 60! Even with the cold. Just a few more hours till we see our kitties and snooze in our own bed. There's no food in the house except frozen chicken, or kitty kibbles, but we'll manage. We'll be home! Soon. Very soon.
