"And so it begins" or "You to can you squeeze 30 hours into a 24 hour day"

We will be leaving London in about 5 hours.  Flights west make for long days.  As we fly through the time zones it keeps getting "earlier" and "earlier."  We will land in Chicago at about 3:30 PM - about 3 1/2 hours "after" we left London BUT the flight time is 8 hours 35 minutes. Hence the 30 hour day.

When you go on a monthlong vacation or workation (what we have been on).  There comes a time about a week before it ends (for me at least) that your thinking shifts from "this is fun" to "its time to go home."  The two day pause in London to visit Hazuki and Dmitri has been really nice, but it all fell into the "IT'S TIME TO GO HOME" portion of my psychology.

We love you all - fans, addicts and casual browsers of www.jitrekking.com.  May the Lord bless you and keep you.  May he cause his face to shine upon you and bring you peace.  May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.  Lord, take us back to Indiana safely please.
