Home again, with gratitude for help

An uneventful set of flights home, and all of our luggage made it.

I was pleasantly shocked to find upon arrival that hopeforyou had actually gone down to Mountain View and drove our van to SFO, leaving the keys with the airline... that's above and beyond the call of friendship. Thanks, hugely! That was unexpected... very sweet of Hope and any other Dreamlanders who helped. I cancelled my SuperShuttle reservation, collected patgreene and the other two boys (different arriving flight), and we arrived home around 9:30pm.

And happy birthday, sinboy! Hope that your recipes turned out well.

Note to self... keeping toilets sterile during long road trips with a couple of cups of bleach works well... as long as one remembers to flush it before resuming normal operations. Otherwise... mixing ammonia with bleach... not a good idea!

Yay! We got something down in one piece! Into Gusev, no less... Nathalie is probably overjoyed, as Gusev (and paleolakebeds) was her idea and her banner since the late 90s.
