Hope you have/had a safe trip home! [I enjoyed your trip writeups. And I'm only slightly jealous that you've visited DC from halfway around the world while I, who am a US citizen and everything, have not - even though I could drive there in less time than it took you to fly. One of these days!]

Having said that, I'm now looking forward to London and Fort Worth in April.
