If the guy at the bag check in hadn\u2019t been kind and just taken our luggage and said \u201crun\u201d we would have not made it through the endless wilderness that is Chicago O\u2019Hare and the additional security check point. As it was, we were the last people to get on the plane\u2014and then they sat on the ground saying that they were waiting for international bags, presumably ours! Nonetheless, we were in Lincoln on time, and Mark\u2019s friend James, who had brought our car to the airport, was actually still there and greeted us. We got to the apartment at about 6:30, and Kati, Krynn, Jupiter, and their friend Alex came over and hung out for a while. Jupiter was very excited to see us! They had to leave before the fireworks, but Kati stayed long enough to sing with Kai, which was a wonderful welcome home. We just barely lasted long enough to watch the city fireworks from the roof garden, and I am sure I was fast asleep well before 11.
