Back to Civitavecchia

---

This is my final entry into this travel blog, although I am actually writing this one before I publish the one from Corsica which I suppose I will get around to tomorrow.

We got into port at 7:00AM and we were on the road to the Airport by 8:30. Our travels ended some 21 hours later when we left the St. Louis airport picked up by all three of our children. Everyone was ok and the house was intact. They seemed to have gotten along fine due to good leadership from Chad and good behavior from the other two along with some close supervision from a number of our friends and neighbors.

Hope you enjoyed this diary of our travels and I would encourage any of you to give it a try and include us in your distribution if you do so. I think this will really be great to look back on and relive the memories. Kelly is somewhat concerned it will put a crimp in her story telling because I have told everyone everything, but I suspect her ability to add color and excitement will still make her stories as engaging as always.

The Thai Girls from the Spa
I mentioned these girls earlier in the blog, but I was pleased to be able to take a picture with them as we were leaving. As usual, I think Kelly endeared herself to them because they helped us carry our bags to the car and wished us well as we departed.

Blogging in the Airport
I had no internet hookup, but I was working in word to copy into the blog later. This was really a great deal of fun and I hope you all enjoyed it just partially as much as I did!
