back and safe

hello our readers, of which there are 10, four of which are related to us, three of which are being paid to read, and three of which are bored enough at work to read it:

we are back and safe in the U.S. We landed at JFK, after many delays and airport switches, Friday night. Conor's luggage was unfortunately lost AGAIN, so this weekend was spent rebuilding his wardrobe. We start work today, but in our over-preparedness, woke up far too early, therefore allowing me time to type this short post.

So yes, this is just a quick note to say, we are safe and happy and home, and that we will be updating you all (is it still a cool travel blog if we are in the same country as you?) on Rome and the end of our trip very soon. About the pictures...the cord to transfer them is lost somewhere with Conor's other belongings so those might be long coming.

Thanks for reading so far, and all of the well-wishes we received while we were gone. We hope you come back to check out the posts about our final hurrahs.

love and happy monday, maria
