Back Home.
Just a short post to end the trip by saying we are back home in Raleigh. The pic below is the view out the window as we took off from Lisbon on our way to JFK. At the time we did not know that one of our checked-in bags was NOT on the plane. After Languishing in Lisbon for 4 days, it was found and reunited with us. Yay! Thanks very much for reading and commenting and emailing! See you on our next trip! -john and sun-ling
