Happy Holidays

[maerdi]

zudini and I just got back home last night around midnight. It was a journey of opposites: both hot and cold, overcast and sunny, relaxing and stressful, full of family but also strangers, and both too long and too short. We even had two suitcases to check (for the first time in a long time): one outrageously large, the other ridiculously small.

An eloquent, utterly fantastic, recap of a captivating adventure.

Give yourselves a pair of merit badges for recreating. Truly top-drawer.

*blushes* Thanks, bonboard. I hope it makes up for the lack of an email response. Also, more fun to write than application essays. ;) For purposes of full disclosure, I should mention that several of the photos from St. Croix were taken by my housemate. (His camera was the only one that was waterproof and we passed it around among us quite a bit.)

Aw, let me know next time when you're in London! I live a few blocks from the Sherlock Holmes pub

Oh, drat! You know, for some reason I thought you were out of town over the holidays, otherwise I would have contacted you in advance! I'll be sure to remember next time (though maybe you'll have a new place to live by then?), but it's too bad I missed you on this go round.

Of course you look like your mom and dad! And sister, from the photo(s) I recall. Your face looks more like your mom, but your build looks more like your dad.

And, of course, I look more like my stepdad than like my half-brothers. Heh.

Fun times!
