I was fortunate enough to make it home for the holidays and spend time with the family. While I've stepped way out of my comfort zone in my travels, it's always nice to feel at home. I ate some of my favorite foods, caught up with friends, and just enjoyed being able to take some vacation time. I returned to bitter cold weather and even saw snowfall on a couple of occasions - quite a contrast to the 80 degree tropical weather that I have become accustomed to.
One of these days the travel will be smooth... on the way to Cincinnati, I was on 4 separate flights in less than a day - Maturin to Caracas, Caracas to Altanta, Atlanta to Lexington (diverted after a delay getting into Atlanta), and finally, Lexington to Cincinnati.
On the return to my "second home", I managed to not miss any flights, but had to rush through the airport to avoid that, again, after a delay getting into Atlanta! I made it to Caracas around 11:00 that night, stayed the night, went to a mall and saw a movie, and took a very uncomfortable overnight bus ride to Maturin. Since then, I've been catching up on rest, unpacking and preparing myself for school, which starts back on Wednesday.
