Thankfully, we had zero travel difficulties returning to the States. We go to the Budapest airport so early we couldn’t even check in yet as it was more than 2 hours before the flight. Gina and I spent the first flight, Budapest to Heathrow, game planning on the in-flight magazine which movies we were going to watch on the transatlantic flight*. In a near disaster, we found ourselves flying next on a 737, which meant we were stuck watching whatever NBC thought the entire plane would enjoy. Thankfully, they chose Rango and Wall Street II, with some TV comedy mixed in. I was completely surprised with Rango and thoroughly enjoyed it.
*traveling east-west across the Atlantic is super-easy for jet-lag, as long as it is not a red-eye. You don’t sleep on the flight, and your body just thinks you are staying up late and then “sleeps in” the following morning.
We were picked up at O’Hare by my mom, in elephant pants, and my aunt. We drove to my aunt’s, ate, did laundry, slept, and departed the following morning for Albuquerque via Midway airport for the final leg of my travels, the Martinze Family Reunion and subsequent tour of the Four Corners region.
