Hot Shower

We’re back in SF and I’m actually happy to be home.  Belize was awesome but there’s something about having a nice hot shower, cold temps, dry air, clean clothes, and my own bed that makes home so great.  Our accommodations in Caye Caulker and San Pedro didn’t have hot water for the showers so bathing was kept to a minimum.  Granted the warm temperatures made it much easier to tolerate the cool water but you just don’t come out feeling as squeaky clean.

Our flights home went smoothly.  We got on the 8:00 am water taxi back to Belize City.  Got a cab to the airport and boarded our first flight at noon.  Two hours later, we landed in Miami where we had a 4-hour layover.  The flight from Miami to SF was a little scary at first considering they’re in the middle of a little hurricane.  I got a pretty awesome lightning show as we took off and started climbing to cruising altitude.  I slept for half of the 5-hour flight and we got home around midnight.  The Sokol-Juns left their car at the airport and we took it home.  That was convenient!

So, it turns out my mom had a fantastic week in SF.  She did some sightseeing, shopping, and a whole lot of hanging out.  It appears that the Magical House had followed her here because the house was clean and the laundry was done too.  Thanks Mommy!!  Koa seemed thrilled to have us home.  When we walked in, he swung the bedroom door open and ran out to greet us.  Funny dog.

Thank goodness it’s only Saturday night.  I still have two more days before going back to work!  Once I sort and upload my photos I will be sure to share.
