27/28-Aug-09 USA Trip - Day 25/26... Were back!

Home again - it's now just over 32 hours since waking in Tacoma for our last day with Steve & Kristi, spending some time at a local farmers market and then they took us into Seattle for sight-seeing and to experience the vibrant market and street musician scene there before we packed our cases into the rental car and headed off to SEA-TAC (Seattle-Tacoma International Airport). The GPS Sat Nav system let us down just as we were approaching the airport and it was a little bit scary negotiating our way through roads and turms that seemed to come every which way in very quick succession. Once through security we were able to enjoy a picturesque sunset glinting on planes coming and going while we waited for our flight. The connecting flight from Heathrow to Newcastle was delayed, and so we spent time aimlessly wandering around Terminal 5 until boarding eventually started. We got back home not long after 9:00 pm local time, and the tiredness is really kicking in.

What a trip it has been - certainly one that we will never forget. The generosity and hospitality that we have been given both before and during the trip has been wonderful... Publishing our daily diary/journal in our blog has enabled us to share it with those who asked to be kept up to date - and the emails, phone calls and messages have warmed our hearts... and for those who might feel that our trip journal is just TMI (too much information), thanks for the heads up - normal service will be resumed as soon as we're rested and back into more performing again.
