Home bound

In Tucson airport waiting at the gate to start the journey back to Ireland.  A 5am start is never a good thing, nor is a five hour layover between flights.  In fact, the only good thing about long and multi-leg flights is uninterrupted reading time, though I'm not sure the penalty of jetlag is really worth it.  In the ten days I've been away, I've not managed to get my body clock onto US west coast time, and it'll no doubt be worse flying eastwards.  At least, the trip has been productive and enjoyable.  I especially liked Tucson, though it was a little too hot for me despite the locals telling me it was presently quite 'mild'.  Their mild would be a glorious summer day we'd talk about for years.
