(I took this picture from my plane with my eyes closed. No need to remind myself that I was 39,000 miles up in the air.)
Thanks so much for your prayers and good thoughts! I’m home and that means I actually got on a plane twice. TW-ICE.
Thanks to my guest posters, too, who I’ll index for you in the next few days, so you can go back and read the goodness.
But meanwhile, here’s a few pics. A full trip report is on its way! Right after I sober up!
This is my bro, Marky, and his spectacular girlfriend, Jill, on my first night in New York. We went to a tapas place in Brooklyn Heights.
This is me and Kizzie at the aforementioned tapas place. Kizzie is cool. I like her. I have no idea why I look demented.
This is Jill, me, and my best friend from Chicago, Lis, in Times Square. Jill took us all around New York for days. Lis and I could barely walk after the first hour. Lis even put socks on with her flats. And she never does that. I wore brown, more comfortable flats with my decidedly predominantly black outfit. And I never do that. So. I’m just saying: Jill is not only cool. She has bionic feet.
You look great! Your skin is glowing, and your brother look like you came from the same recipe.
I TOLD you about the shoe thing. Running shoes with EVERY outfit. Can’t wait to read more!
Welcome home brave flygirl!
I like you back. I don’t think we need to delve into reasoning.
Jill has NYC feet. Yours will toughen up when you COME BACK!
You look fabulous! Also? I’m jealous of your trip. And glad you made it home safely. :)
What great pictures! So glad your plane ride was uneventful and your trip was exciting!
Looks like your trip had some truly spectacular moments! You can definitely tell you and your brother are related – you share the same fabulous smile!
Yay! You made it! Great pics — you look gorgeous! Glad to have you back! Exclamation Point! In case! You missed! The enthusiasm!!
Welcome home! It seems I was just getting to know you and then you were gone. But you came back! (Wow. This must be how a toddler feels. Moving on…)
Just thinking of walking all over NYC makes MY feet hurt! Brown, Schrown – if they were comfy, fashion be damned!
Glad you had a good time and made it through the airplane ride – both times!!
Woo Hoo! Good for you! You are my hero for getting on that plane there and back! Don’t you feel great?!?
Glad you’re back and that you had a good time. Bummer the cute black shoes from Nordy’s weren’t comfortable but you’re wearing the shirt!
so glad you’re back! great pictures of you – you’re gawgeous! also, your brother is adorable.
hope you had a blast and i can’t wait to hear more about it! :)
So glad to see you survived the flights – BOTH of them, to have what looks like a wonderful time in NY.
Welcome Home!
Welcome home, brave one!
Welcome home. You don’t look demented, you look faboo!
Wait! Do I see a gremlin on the airplane wing?
But you wore the black jacket. Very nice. ;) Looks like an incredible trip!
Wow, welcome back to California, and it looks like you had a marvelous time!!!!
Can’t wait to hear the stories!
Boy do you and your bro look alike!
I’m glad you had a great time–can’t wait to hear more details Thursday night.
Agh! You did it! Twice! You look gorgeous, too.
You made it and you do look fabulous!
Huh, must be the baking soda. ;)
it’s not just bionic feet, it’s got to also be the power of those boots. cutest boots i’ve ever seen.
I see you partook in some drunk photography! Glad you made it home in one piece.

I half-listened to your advice! I brought the comfy shoes, but they weren’t sneakers!

Mommypie:
Did I tell you how I clutched your angels medal the whole way (until I dropped it right before my return flight landed…I think the angels wanted it back for the next person. I never did find it again :(.
Feathermaye:
I feel like a toddler right about now, so we’ve got something in common (I CANNOT WALK!!!!!)
We_be_toys:
Although I had a great time, if I think of the walking again, my feet pound.
Me:
I do feel great! (And tired.)
Mel:
I’ll put the Nordy’s shoes to good use in San Diego!

Can’t wait to tell you all about it.

I was also very thrilled about the flight survival part!

Thanks for the “get a good bag and jacket” advice. I totally took it.
First of all, you look fabulous. Secondly, everyone in NY has bionic feet. How do they wear such insensible shoes everywhere?!
