Well in about 40 minutes we’ll be on our way home! Our painter is back at it just outside our window. I’m all packed and ready to go, now it’s a waiting game. On the way here it’s a rush to do everything and make sure things are in order and for the trip. Going home it seems less rushed as all the things we brought are packed and there is nothing left to do. There’s nothing that can’t be replaced in the states, if you forget something coming you may have to do without for the entire trip.
We used up the eggs and some of the ham and cheese for breakfast. It was nice having the kitchen to eat some meals here. Both the stores we shopped at though were light on seasonings so we had salt and garlic salt, not quite like back home. We did eat out a lot and I’m taking home most of my almonds and snacks. I probably will skip them on future trips. Snacks seem like a good idea but unless your dedicated to eating them then you end up eating local foods.
We are staying cool this morning in the apartment before we leave so we don’t get sweaty before traveling.
I’m going to get my DouLingo done before we go, I’ll add more later after our travel has begun.
We’ve made it back to the States! No problems with getting out of South American this time!! No problems with customs and we’ve found our next departure gate and have had some Popeye’s. Should be a pleasant wait, we’ve got seats close to the gate so we can hear the announcements and get in line when we get called up. We’re going to have to start booking our own flights to get miles or plus clubs so we can get on early.
Once we get on our next flight we should be back to St Louis in just a hour and a half.

We have arrived back to St. Louis and while there is some driving to do later on today, this trip has come to an end as far as I’m concerned. Since I will be in my car driving it feels like home.

I made it all the way back to Waterloo, Iowa! No problems on the return! I did however stop off at the future birth place of Captain James Tiberius Kirk of the Starship USS Enterprise. I was not in a hurry and this place exists for road trips!! I probably should have swung through Brandon for the world’s largest frying pan but I didn’t think of it until after the exit.
I did not hit all the sights available, just the museum, the marker of the future birth place and a statue. Emily and I may return and see some of the rest!!
Hopefully you have all enjoyed our posts and with luck we will get to go somewhere again soon worth sharing!
Traveling with Emily!
