On the Way Home

Bye-bye Day

Our bye bye day started at Heathrow Airport outside of London. In the corridor on the way to the plane was the most fascinating mural. Each picture was a representation of a local custom, interpreted uniquely depending on the country. For example, in the United States a pest is something to extinguish whereas in China it might be a delicacy! There are many ways to show “Welcome”.

The ride home was smooth with several opportunities to view the land below. We saw Greenland covered in ice (and Iceland is covered in green!) and Canada resembles a patchwork of snow and green valleys. Once we landed at LAX, Steve finally conceded to use a smart cart and wheeled our overstuffed bags to the shuttle van. As Dorothy always says, “There is no place like home.”
