the floor drops under you..

Kent: is no joke!
12:15 California time 21:15 Europe time
Ray: Back in the USA
Ray: In Philly
Ray: Still one long-ass flight to go
Ray: And gotta deal with the @#$%# CBP.
14:08 California time 23:08 Europe time
Ray: Customs was fairly quick, truth be told
Ray: Then we hit Philly's security line, sponsored by Acme Drug Dogs.
14:08 California time 23:08 Europe time
Ray: Kent is en route? Hey Dusty, you home yet?
14:13 California time 23:13 Europe time
Ray: From my pov, the last 2 weeks shot by! And now you're going
Ray: Awesome! Dusty set a high bar for exercise
Ray: Me, not so much, but I wasn't a slouch, either
Ray: Besides Spain adventures, I went jogging on the boat and of course
walked several miles each day in ports

Ray: Alaska is incredible
Ray: I can't wait to do some real adventuring there, hopefully in next
couple of years
17:26 California time 02:26 Europe time
Dusty: So far spending 2 days recovering from my TDF has been a very
relaxing contrast to the TDF itself
Dusty: That was intense beyond belief or sanity
Dusty: We'll see how I survive going back to work tomorrow.
Dusty: I figure i never sleep right anyway, tomorrow can't be much
worse than usual...
18:05 California time 03:05 Europe time
Dusty: Drug dog is making the rounds here in sfo where damn near all
drugs are legal..
Dusty: so far the beagle has found women carrying snacks.
Dusty: what a joke...
Dusty: carry all the heroin you want into the country, just make sure
to bring dog treats too..
Dusty: and an A380 carries more bags than an sfo baggage carousel can
handle, they keep emptying it and it keep jamming

Dusty: Just got home
19:17 California time 04:17 Europe time
Ray: Lucky you! After our flight was canceled, we got lucky and avoided
the very huge line at AA Services, found a friendly ticket gal who
booked us on a new flight
Ray: We made a new mile record hoofing it to a new terminal
Ray: Then I got a text saying the flight was skej'd to take off at 10:30
Ray: That's encouraging, but I raised our chances from 50-50 to 52-48.
19:27 California time 04:27 Europe time
Ray: Just got new text - they say this flight will leave at 11
Ray: Not sure if they're just yanking our chains, but there is still
hope.
There was no hope, Ray and his family were stuck in Philly
overnight.... then had to travel through O'hare on Monday to get home!
