Days 10 & 11, The Trip Home
It is finally time to come home. We are very ready to be home. We had one last morning in Ljubljana and then it was time to fly home. (see pix) 
Although there was the constant stress of Damian's twitching, we were able to manage it well enough. Fortunately, we were in the back of every plane. This resulted in Damian have no one behind him who may be disturbed by the constant shaking of his seat.
The seven hour lay over turned out very well. Bob and Zack decided to hang out in the airport, while Charles Damian and Karen spent the time with Charles' sister and niece, and her partner (Lois, Ebie and Leah respectively). It was a wonderful visit. I especially enjoyed the time to catch up with everyone since I hadn't seen them for at least six years. I had never met Leah and we hit it off very well. I discovered that her work is in alignment with the direction I'm interested in taking my education. Hopefully this will lead to more connections.
Most importantly, we got home. Jay and Steven were at the airport waiting for us. It was great news to hear that Damian dog was waiting for us at home. It was so nice to sleep in our own bed.
I was home with just enough time to raise the serious concern with my branch manager regarding the credit card. Now that we were home from Europe the card being on hold was moot. None-the-less, the branch manager experienced the same problems we had with customer service. Hopefully, this will result in some positive changes in the way they serve their customers. Although there were no serious problems caused by their error, it had the potential of hanging a black cloud on our most wonderful vacation.
In the end, the only things carrying on from our vacation are wonderful memories, great pictures, and more stories than any one may want to hear. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to share with you. Be looking for the video.
