Good to be back home again!

After another grueling trip, we’re back on American soil. Everything went well and we can say that we had no single negative experience on that trip, which makes it that much more special. It was made of a mosaic of stages through many diverse parts of France that could have been hard to handle, but wasn’t really. We had to get up at 4 am yesterday morning to be ready to drive back to Geneva, return our rental car, catch a 7:30 am flight to Paris before we had anything to eat. The flight between Paris and San Francisco was in an Air France 747-400 and the economy class service was – as always on this airline, outstanding – I wonder how people still even fly Delta and United when they travel overseas! We enjoyed a spectacular approach and landing over the Bay area of San Francisco as we came from the North and saw so much and in so many details as I never had experienced before; truly my world’s favorite city! San Francisco to Salt Lake, the last leg of our journey was gruesome, as we sat cramped in the last row of a small Canadair Jet. We both were beat up, and it’s only when a full 24 hour later Thomas met us with Finn at the airport at 7 pm, that we managed to smile again…
