There were a lot of people taking the shuttle to the airport, but we managed to all fit in.
From the airport window we could see clear skies and is that Mt. Ranier?
Our friend, Morris was there to pick us up right away and my sister-in-law, Nancy picked up Dennis.
It was a short trip but we were pretty worn out, especially Art who did all the driving because of Dennis' eye problem.
Back at home, our neighbor had a pot of juk (Korean rice gruel) waiting for us to have for our dinner. It was absolutely PERFECT! Light and easy on the stomach.
We all loved meeting my blog friends who were now simply great friends as well as seeing our old friends again, but it sure was very, very wonderful to be welcomed back by our island friends and neighbors again.
And mom? She's been smiling ever since and looking forward to our finishing our photo book so that she can share it with her friends and relatives.
Travel is wonderful but coming home may well be the best of all....

Oh darn! I missed #4 actually. No excuses! We were even there at The Hague. Art will laugh at me.
DeleteThe weary travelers return home. The trip seems to have been a great tonic for your mom.
ReplyDeleteWonderful tirp
ReplyDeleteI have been catching up and enjoyed taking the trip with you this after noon! What a wondeful adventure and I was so glad your Mum's illness didn't prevent her from continuing on after being ill at night. Meeting blog friends is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAs wonderful as travel is, our own beds sure seem nice once more. You had quite a venture. Rest up and relax a bit now.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have a meal ready for you when you got home. I bet you won't be home long before you are off on your next adventure!
ReplyDeleteSo cute that your mom also enjoys your travels and can share her adventures with her friends.
ReplyDeleteLove jook! Making and eating it.
ReplyDelete...and a good time was had by all. You worked in a wide variety of interesting things to do on this trip.
ReplyDeleteGreat trip!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous trip!
ReplyDeleteIt was sure wonderful for me to meet you all, and I do hope that it won't be the last time. I always look forward to your posts, and now more than ever. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou planned this trip for your mom, so the fact that she is still smiling is a terrific reward for you and Art. Well done. And besides, I got to meet you in person!
ReplyDeleteThere's no place like home.
You and DJan made Mom feel so welcome and cared for. Do you know she actually told us a few days ago that it would be too strenuous for her to go to Japan (the plane ride is 7 hours as opposed to 5.5 hours to the west coast), but she wouldn't mind going to the mainland. That blew us away. She just loved everything about this trip! Thank you to you, Tom and DJan!
DeleteWhat an awesome trip it turned out to be! So glad for you folks!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful perfect trip!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great trip but what a lovely welcome home, and there is nothing nicer than slipping into one's own bed that first night.
