In-transit Interlude: Q&A

Q:  What do you do when your parents take a breather from dragging you around to tourist hotspots?

A:  Roll down a hill with your friends, of course!

Q:  How do you undo 2.5 years of sailing in 20 hours?

A:  Fly home for a visit.

Q:  How do you explain said "long" flight to your progeny?

A:  "It is like an overnight passage, except you aren't allowed to move out of your seat unless you need to use the bathroom.  Plus, someone brings you food occasionally and there is a small TV you can use."

Q:  What kind of reaction will you get?

A:  A puzzled frown.

Q:  Amy, you really don't have anything to write about today, do you?

A:  Not so much, sorry.  And I'm afraid our flight leaves tomorrow morning, so I have to go rejig the bags that certain people I am married to or the mother of have torn through like an invading army searching for plunder.  But don't worry.  I'll unpack my writing cap when I get back to Canada.  Pinkie swear.
