Day 6 marks the return flight.\u00a0 We get up at 2:00am and catch a cab to the airport.\u00a0 Zoom – the cab driver loves to drive fast at 2:30 in the morning, and he has a love for the blues\u00a0 so he plays it very loud.\u00a0 After passing a crashed bus on the way out of the city, we get to the airport, and it’s reverse visa fun.\u00a0 We get in line and have a few tense minutes as papers are filled out, computers cross-referenced, stared-downs happen, and the usual questions designed to figure out if we’re hiding anything.\u00a0 After a few minutes each, we get through security (sigh of relief) and hit the lounge.\u00a0 The airport is, still, quite small – only one real gate that you walk out onto a bus across the tarmac then board our plane.\u00a0 Three hours to Frankfurt and we camp out in the VIP lounge.\u00a0 We then pull 10 hours nearly over the pole to Seattle and another 30 minutes down to Portland and I’m home again.\u00a0 Nice to be home again – and see how well one adjusts back 12 hours. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
