Just wanted to let everyone know we (and I assume our entire group of 22) arrived home safely this morning (Monday) after a 28-hour marathon return trip starting at midnight (Florida time) Saturday night and ending around 4 am Monday morning. Our bodies are still adjusting, but we are so thankful to be home and appreciate thoughts and prayers for our health and safety while we were gone. After experiencing some of the German, French, Swiss, Spanish and a smattering of a few other cultures, we are glad to be back in America and appreciate Keith's comments regarding our military and country. Our plane from Newark, NJ to Tampa was packed but as we were loading I noticed one military man in green fatigues pass by my seat. When we landed, the pilot acknowledged him being on board and the entire plane broke into applause for him. It was a touching ending to an incredible journey for Dennis and me. Hope to share a few pictures with you soon....Love, Linda
