Back home.

Wow.  11 airports, 5 countries and 3 bodies of water (Red Sea, Dead Sea, and Atlantic Ocean) later.....   I am safely back home!  Even after a 3 hour and 5 checkpoint security scare at the Amman airport which then lead to a lovely overnight stay of a mere 5 hours in LAX.   It was a whirlwind tour.  Now that I've had a day or so (and early AM's as I cannot sleep past 4 am) to process it we were pretty much non-stop for the entire 3 weeks.  I think we rose mostly around 6 am almost every day of the trip!  But it was all good as I saw some amazing things.  And I must thank Jer for dragging me to the Middle East because I never would have gone otherwise - and it would have been a shame to miss out on Jordan.  Really was one of the most amazing places (food, sites, culture, history, landscape, people, did i mention the FOOD!!!) that I have ever been to.  And the nicest people.  So note to everyone:  give your tourists dollars to Jordan, they are not in the sh!t of the rest of the Middle East!!!!!
