I can tell I’m back in the US Airport system – I’ve already had someone cut the first class line (and happy to report that the ticket agent sent them to the back of the line), getting through airport security takes twice as long with the disrobing requirements, and I’m boarding USAirways with my own flight entertainment (now that they stripped the plan of every extra to save weight).    The good news; USAirways doesn’t weigh every carry one – Quantas does.   

In the final analysis, this was a fabulous trip – great sites, great people to work with, and all around a great experience.  Now, I’m looking forward to joining my family at the airport – if you can imagine being greeted by 8 family members after being apart for over two weeks, it should be quite a scene.
