When I went to sleep last night, I planned to use this post to rant about how angry I was at United but I'm not going to do that anymore. I will add a link to the letter I send to the head of customer relations in a few weeks because I'm pissed enough at this point that I need some remuneration.
We are in DC now. Getting here took almost 24 hours straight of travel. Happily, Lilah took two long naps on the plane so she was quite managable however she woke up at 3 and at 6 so Chris and I are still beat tired. Something really cool did happen overnight though! When she woke up at 3, she actually wanted to come in bed with us. So, the three of us slept for a few hours cuddled up together. We have never actually done that as a family and it was nice to end this phase of our trip that way. After all we spent 1008 hours together with no breaks and almost no other people and thats a pretty unique thing.
It is great to be back. We took a night in a hotel rather than going to our friends house last night so we could get to sleep a couple hours earlier. Sleeping in a King size bed again was heavenly. It's been a little unsettling to hear English spoken in an American accent as outside of Chris and a couple Skypes home I havent heard it in quite a while. I kept thinking I was hearing other people speak in my voice. Also strange is having toilet flushers on the side rather than the top. I keep reaching for the top and wondering where the flusher is :-)
Now, we are chilling in the room and waiting for the rest of the world to wake up, wishing we could go back to sleep. Heading down stairs to the breakfast room now, then let the Christmas madness begin.
