While we are indeed home, there was no certainty at the beginning of the day that the day would end this way. The morning started positively enough as we got to BWI airport in about 15 minutes and we had allotted twice that amount of time. We're lucky we did! The line for the skycaps to check bags was over 30 minutes. The line INSIDE was unbelievably long...like Vegas on a Sunday morning long. Just freaking crazy. What's the deal? Most people who traveled for NYE, we thought, would have gone home on Sunday right? Well, maybe it's just that BWI is always screwed up, but it was pretty bad. Getting through security wasn't a problem at all though, it was just the checking bags stage of the Southwest process. Neither McDonald's nor Starbucks had abnormal lines. Crazy.
Fortunately we got our bags checked in (we were there 90 minutes before our flight) and had time to get breakfast and coffee and even got our gate reassigned before it was time to board. Smooth trip the rest of the day, but we were both pretty lethargic. Can't wait to hit the sheets tonight!
Tomorrow: football from the weekend.

oooo, wedding planning! Can't wait for more details on that!
Welcome home! I agree with you. There's nothing like your own bed and some semblance of routine to keep you feeling right. The holidays are so much fun and most of us lament their passing, but the reality is, we couldn't handle much more than we already have.
