Finally - Homeward Bound! The last 5 weeks have been wonderful - certainly a worthwhile experience - but our next vacation is definitely going to be shorter and more relaxing... a cruise would be nice.

We woke up, had breakfast, got ready to go, and waited for the airport shuttle that we had ordered. It came a little late, but we had planned plenty of time to get to the airport so we weren't worried. We checked in at the hotel (after a small amount of confusion regarding the tickets we had gotten) and were happy to find that, again, we were upgraded to the world traveller plus class! What luxury! I don't think you need business class or first class if you have the large, comfy seats of world traveller plus with the footrests and individual tvs with unlimited movies on demand. The flight from Zurich to Heathrow was short and sweet. The layover in Heathrow was much better than our first time. And the flight to JFK was in a 747 (apparently, Ivan has *always* wanted to fly in a 747 - the big, double-leveled airplanes).

We landed in JFK, caught a cab to get home, and spent our first night in our new apartment in New York. The next few days will be filled with unpacking, going to New Jersey and Washington, D.C. to get our cars the the rest of our belongings that we left behind, and getting settled in.
