Oh it has been a long day. We were up at 4:00 this morning to catch a flight from Venice to Rome. Our flight from Venice was late leaving and we barely made our flight leaving Rome. Thanks to Rick for running ahead and then stalling by standing in the jet way until the parents and I could catch up. We made the grueling 12:30 hour flight from Rome to Los Angeles. I could not sleep the whole time, so I caught up on my movie selection by watching; Jumper, Vantage Point, Over Her Dead Body, Pay It Forward and then some obscure Italian Movie with subtitles. I had to resort to the Italian movie, because my other options were Horton Hears A Who, Monsters Inc. and 27 Dresses. Which I had already seen. Airplanes is the only time I will sit down and watch a movie. I am too easily distracted at the movie theater  or at home to watch a movie. So my only recourse to maintain current on the cinema scene is to fly where I am forced to sit there. Flying is always tougher on the flight home.

We finally made it back to Salt Lake City. It always feels good to come home after a trip. I love traveling. It really is one of the great things I love to do, but I am always happy to come home to a familiar and comfortable place. I was very excited to see my girls. T-ko and Maddie were happy to see us and followed closely behind everywhere I went tonight. It always feels good to be wanted or needed, even if it does come from my dogs.
