England Trip Day Nine–Journal
Not too much to say here. Charles and Judy took us to the Gatwick where we were met by Brendan. Caitlan left with him to spend Easter together. A bit of a tearful good-by. We had extra time after we got through security to do a little shopping. Jerome bought some special Scotch and then almost lost it when we got to Detroit because we had to go through security again and couldn’t take liquids in our carry-ons. He worked it out, though. I watched the movie HOLIDAY on the way back, and it made me nostalgic for England already. When we left London it was seventy degrees, and when we got into Detroit it was 27! We had some kind of baked chicken breast to eat and some wine to drink. I couldn’t sleep so I did sudoku and read HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE. In Detroit while we were waiting in line at customs, I entertained Jerome and Janet with my rendition of Barney McCabe. Janet’s Uncle Gene picked us up at the airport, and then Jerome and Janet drove us home. We stopped on the way to get two very homesick puppies. I loved our trip. I’ll go back with anyone who wants to go! Thanks, J&J for making it possible. I love you both very much.
