So, after a thirty hour travel day, missed flights, lost and broken luggage, and 100 movies...Erin and I are home. We had so many laughs that I'm pretty sure I won't need an ab. workout for quite some time. We spent 20 of those 30 hours in the air! The flying wasn't so bad though mostly because we followed the sun and it was daylight for about 29 hours! Haha! We were able to stay awake the whole time which I believe is a reason why our jet lag is so minimal. We also bought compression stockings in Greece (for like 30 E's!) and as a result neither one of us have ANY swelling!! Soooooo nice! I think i'm going to start wearing them to work as they also prevent varicose veins...something I would like to avoid as I get older. Who the heck discovered compression socks? I want to kiss them forever!!!
So, for me jet lag is wayyyy worse going to Europe then coming home. I have been able to jump right back into my routine of bed early and up early, working out hard wednesday and yesterday and sleeping through the night without any problems. Granted I keep missing out on family dinners because I'm out cold at 7pm (and again, last night I fell asleep with 2 jackets on).
My only complaint about this jet lag thing is that I can't seem to drink enough water!! I made sure to hydrate on the plane but apparently it wasn't enough?? I mean seriously yesterday and wednesday I downed at least TEN large water bottles. I'm starting to feel like I have SIADH...for those of you who are medical.
Anyway, that by far was the greatest vacation I could ever imagine! I love my new brother-to-be and am totally confident and excited for my sister who will be sweetly and lovingly cared for by him! Awe....smiles. (and visa versa).
Stay tuned over the next two weeks as I muster up the motivation to post more photos. I just can't get over how much fun it was...very likely could be the most fun trip in my life! All is well.

*update*
I did it! I did it! I posted the photos in order of the descending sun! Check it out...click on "FEELING LIKE A BON BON" and pick a photo with the best background and click on each photo..it will feel like you're there!! UGH!!! I can't believe how amazing it is/was!! Then the writing below describes the dinner we ate there...and reading it through takes me there so that I can even recall the smell and taste of the AMAZING dinner! wow! I'll keep posting more photos when time allows.
