Day 11...Back in Denver

We are home. After waking up on Monday at 5 am (9pm Denver time) we are getting back to Denver at 9pm (5am Oslo)! What a crazy 24 hours of travel! We pulled up to our house at 10 pm and were tired and excited to be home. The cats were also happy that we were back!
There were no major bumps, cancellations, or crazy flights. To get back to Denver we traveled by bus, train, taxi, and airplanes. We flew across 4 time zones, went to 5 airports, and passed customs 4 times, with our only glitch being exhaustion.
In a nut shell we:
1. Went by bus to the airport in Oslo (customs 1)
2. Flew to London He throw 3hr flight (time zone change 1 and customs 2)
3. Landed in Heath row and grabbed a cab to London-Gaetwick (customs 3)
4. Flew from London Gaetwick to Detroit MI 7 hour 51 minute flight (time zone changes 2 and customs 4) *our saving grace on this flight was we had the exit seats and our 3rd person was not there so we had 3 seats for the 2 of us and some much needed extra room :-)
5. Fly from Detroit to Denver flight time 3 hours.
6. Get our luggage, car, and go home!

Vacations are great, but it feels so good to be getting HOME too! Now back to some form of normalcy. We have a bunch of things coming up so we will just keep plugging along and keep you all in the loop!

I will also start and hopefully finish the task of getting the pictures from our trip up. I took over 400 so I will give a link to them so everyone can look...this confirms that I really do love pictures!
