The trip was delightful in that we got to see a family member we hadn't seen in quite a while, as well as to meet that family member's new spouse. Plus we got to lay eyes on the Pacific ocean, which we hadn't seen for three years. Nice.
The trip was also awful in parts, due to an unfortunate episode of food poisoning, plus a cancelled flight (American Airlines, I am looking at you. You have let us down yet again.) that marooned us 400-odd miles from home. Rather than wait 24 hours for the rescheduled flight, we rented a car and drove six hours through the wee hours toward our corner of the desert, arriving home at 4:45 AM, mercifully safe and sound.
The best part of that drive was the magnificent half moon that arrived suddenly over a mountain to the right as I drove through the badlands. Lovely.
I am glad to be home.
