Today I start my two part journey home.  At about 5:30pm Greek time (9:30am Chicago), I’ll get on a bus from Chania to Heraklion to catch a 10pm flight to London.  I get into London about 1am, will find a place to crash, then will spend tomorrow in London to catch up with everyone there before flying back at noon on Thursday.  A friend used a good term to summarize my return home, reverse culture shock.  Being away from something so familiar for so long will make it interesting to return to, especially since I’ve gone almost 4 weeks without even being in a country where English is the first language.  The next couple days will be interesting.

Chania has been nothing short of phenomenal.  I hope to work up a very detailed write up during the 13+ hours I’ll have on planes in the next 60 hours.  I haven’t been able to load pictures for a while, but I hope to have those out by this weekend.  I look forward to catching up with everyone when I get home.
