back Stateside once again

I will, and do hold me to this if I'm unable to get my thoughts in order within a reasonable time frame, lovely circlethingie, write up a longer post about the trip I've just taken, but for now, I'm back in Wisconsin. No vital luggage has been lost, misplaced, or left behind (WHEW!!!), no one's car battery died while sitting waiting in the cold (double WHEW!!!), and my rusty Spanish ended up coming in very handy, especially as it seemed to improve with use and time (YAY!). The air conditioning in the last place we stayed, which is a whole entire post in itself, combined with flying back to and then running around in ice cold, dry upper Midwestern air seems to have done a number on my sinuses, but oh well.

What'd I miss?
