65: Dollars spent on hotel room (Hilton Hotel, 4 star. Thanks, Priceline!)
65: Dollars spent on overpriced hotel food (too bad Priceline doesn’t sell food too)
3: Arrived at gate with this many minutes to spare before our second flight took off. (I just thought I would add a little excitement into our trip by majorly underestimating the amount of time it would take us to get through the massive Heathrow airport. Thank the Lord we made our flight. “Run, Grace, Run!”)
11: Number of time zones we went through
4: People in the Medina family who are very happy and content right now.

LOL! That was fun to read…probably not so fun to live through though! So glad you made it. I have to admit I've been so excited for your furlough only to remind myself that I don't get to meet you. =0( Any chance you'll be visiting supporters in our state?
Have a fabulous furlough!

Hooray!!! Welcome back to America!
Laura Lee and I did the same thing in the Heathrow Airport when we came to TZ the first time. I had no idea we could run so fast caring pillow, laptop, and a backpack that couldn't possibly have held one other thing!
