A Rough Re-entry

My husband and I, along with my parents, enjoyed 10 days in the sun and warmth. We went to Orlando for three days and then boarded a cruise (Carnival) that set sail for the Western Carribean. I will blog more on this later, including some photos, but the point of this blog is... IT IS COLD back in normal land!!!

When we got off the boat, we went to the Orlando Airport and flew to Chicago. Walking off the plane in Chicago sent my system into shock. It was like 4 below outside!!! Talk about a rough re-entry! We went from 85ish to 4 belowish! Ouch! To make things worse, the actual airport in Chicago was freezing. They were doing some construction in our terminal and the ceiling was completely open (without insulation). As if that wasn't bad enough (did they forget to pay their heating bill?), our flight was delayed two additional hours so we had to just sit and sit and sit in the cold, cold, cold. Brrrr....

Coming back home to what is generally mild, we are in an arctic freeze which means that while it is sunny, it is still stinking cold.

Needless to say, I want to go back!!! :)

Brrr...I don't blame you! I am glad that you had such a great time, though. Maybe you can sit in the sun by a window and just picture being back in the Caribbean. Hmmmm...I think I will try that!

welcome back to reality! Always a tough transition. Glad to hear you had an awesome experience; can't wait to hear all the things you got to see and do! Maybe I can soak up some warmth just by being near you!
