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.

And I am now back in Chicago to find that summer has finally arrived. Yay!

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.

I'm glad to see people have arrived home safely. I don't wanna get up and pack. Frank's post about the weather isn't changing that.

Sorry 'bout that. I wish you travel-ma. May the good faerie who pulled off our impromptu, mega-gianormous Buffista dinner last night will bless us all as we make our way homeward.

Had breakfast at "Bernard's on Seneca" around the corner, with -t and her DH. The company was good, the food...meh.

Packed and checked out now, hanging out in the lobby going through pictures to kill an hour until I catch the airport bus.

It's been a great trip. It was wonderful to see everyone F2F, and I managed a better balance between social time and solitude. I hope I can join in again next year.

Many thanks to juliana, Pete, Plei, and all the rest who did all the work to make everything go so well.
