It is strange to be back in SE Connecticut.
Our journey started early on Monday morning with us waking up to see Susanna off to work. Susanna’s mom picked us up at 7 am and drove us (and Hoagie) to the train station in Växjö. Hoagie was staying in Sweden with Susanna and her parents; there was no way I’m taking him on another flight if I can ever help it.
We had an uneventful train ride to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport and ate lunch and boarded our flight to Boston Logan. We spent the night in Boston. It would have been too much to try to get to Connecticut that night. Izzy barely ate any food provided on the flight, so was starving by the time we checked into the airport. My food standards are much lower, so I had eaten on the flight. We walked to a nearby restaurant where Izzy ordered a huge plate of macaroni and cheese. She then proceeded to eat half of my calamari in addition to a good portion of her own meal. Then back to the hotel for an early bedtime.
Yesterday morning we boarded an Amtrak train to New London and were met by my friend Mark. He picked us up and took us to his house where the minivan was parked for the past month. Izzy and I checked into our hotel in Norwich and I unpacked our bags while she checked out the pool. We took a trip to the bookstore to get something to read on our upcoming trip. Last night we met up with my oldest for dinner.
We are planning on staying here a few more days. Izzy wants to visit with friends, and I have some things to wrap up here (MD appointment, clean out the storage unit, etc). This weekend we are heading south towards Florida to visit my mom. Our next stop will be Washington DC for a few days.
