Whew. We're finally home after 9 days on the road visiting friends and relatives on the east coast for thanksgiving. Even just today has been a long day.
We were up at 8am Eastern Time (slept in a bit because it still is a weekend 😅) to pack, eat, and say goodbyes, then off to the airport. Our first flight was delayed, ultimately by 45 minutes, which was frustrating mostly because it meant we had to dash to catch our connection in Nashville. The connecting flight wound up leaving a bit late anyway (🙄) but at least it arrived on time. On arrival at SJC I was able to summon an Uber quickly so we got home before 9:30pm. Of course that feels like 12:30am Eastern.
By 10pm we were unpacked and starting to wind down for the night. It's time to rest up and get back to the usual grind, right? Wrong! I'm only going to be home for 12 hours before I have to head back to the airport. Tomorrow I'm flying to Las Vegas to staff my company's presence at the AWS re:Invent trade show Monday-Thursday. Which means tonight I'm doing a load of laundry (for convenience, not necessity) and gently prepping a few things for tomorrow. At the least the flight is not first thing in the morning!
