Am home now. Not a bad flight. It definitely felt less arduous than the trip out, despite the two initially noisy kids right behind my row (they passed out early, thank god). Didn't sleep a whole lot, but I've had worse nights sleeping in my own bed.
I already miss Seattle, and the buffistas more. My only regret is not getting to say proper goodbyes to some of the folks, especially Brenda and Sail since we rode to the airport together, but I never spotted them after check in/security, and their flight didn't seem to be posted yet. Hope they got away OK.
More later when I can post anything coherent, but I had a blast.
ETA, ok, Sail made it. I hope that means Brenda made her connection for her train OK.
I did! Fortunately the plane got in early so it was all fine. And I am now back in Chicago to find that summer has finally arrived. Yay!
Plei, you and I have to attend one of these things at the same time again someday,and pose together wearing velvety irridescence.
Landed in Newark, fell asleep on train to City, fell asleep on subway uptown. Dropped bag, walked dog, changed clothes, slept on subway to work... this is going to be a VEEEEERY long day.
Next year, a weeklong F2F. With Prom night babysitters.
Laura Holt has mentioned in the past doing such a thing at Otter Lake, It would be FANTASTIC. And we'd have the Prom on Saturday so people who could only come for the weekend could attend.
Otter Lake is a little shy on prom sites, and chilly. Buffistas always welcome though. I've often toyed with the idea of having a Buffista Thanksgiving in Delray Beach for people that wanted an excuse to not be available for other kinds of family gatherings. Will have to consider that one again.
I've loved all the pictures! Not offering any sympathy for Monday morning gronk for those that had the joy of attending the F2F.
A few more pictures to throw on to the pile: [link]
Glad to hear you made it back OK, brenda.

I got back to MA and it's sixty-nothing degrees and pouring rain. I guess I also miss the Seattle WEATHER. Who'da thunk it?
You mean you miss cloudy 56 degree weather in June?
Morning. I gotta pack. Shower. Just want to lounge. Packing sucks.
Speaking of. ND & Pix, Do you have room for a small bundle? Laga left her bathing suit stuff here. I tried texting last night, but I guess you were asleep by then.

I'd definitely take what we had on Saturday and Sunday over this shite. Hell, at least on Friday, the rain was intermittent.
That said, I'm still happy it's not 80+ and humid.
