We're home! We had some excitement at the JFK airport, everyone was a little testy.
The flight was fine.
We were a little sad to see all the snow, after prancing around Portugal.
But its always good to be home!

Back in the USA
Up at 4:30am. (That's 11:30 Tuesday night for Pittsburgh)
We managed to be in our car and moving by 5:45am.
Turned our car in and got in the line of insane length for check-in. Just to find out we have to be in another line to get a boarding pass first. Geez.
Our first flight left Lisbon at 8:20am, and we were headed back to Paris. That was all fine and dandy. Had just enough time to switch flights in Paris, our next was at 12:30pm. Well, it was a huge flight, and boarding took forever. And then they switched planes on us, so they had to bus us across the airport. Well, then we sat on our plane for another two hours. We finally left around-- 3:00pm? And this was the big flight, 7 hours. But was longer, since now there was no room for us at JFK, so we circled around a little bit and finally had a scary, very bumpy/swerving landing. eek. And finally we left the plane at 5:45pm.
And then one more flight - ooh, it is cancelled, due to weather. So, now we are in a tiny Super 8 room, and will be up at the crack of dawn again tomorrow. So, we are all exhausted. Just ordered some pizza to our room. We've been awake and flying for nearly 24 hours. That's one long day.
