Well, another trip to the US has come and gone. Last year I made three trips home that were short and always lacking. This trip was a month in the US (three weeks in Iowa). That was still too little time. I believe next year will be longer.... Even with eating breakfast, lunch and supper with friends pretty much everyday I *still* didn't get to everyone. I did, however, gain twenty pounds according to Dad's scale - which is usually accurate. Next year I must insist on meeting for coffee only.
For anyone who cares to follow my flight back (cough, Miriam), here it is:

And to Mr. Birkey - I am sincerely sorry for not tracking you down during this trip. Send me your contact info prior to the next trip and it won't happen again.
