We finally have a return date....yea! Mark's last day of work is Sept. 12th. He will be returning to Chicago on the 14th. Paige and I are actually leaving on Sept. 7 and flying to L.A. to visit family for a week and flying back to Chicago on the 14th. I know call me crazy, but I've somehow convinced myself that this would be the best way for us to get back to Chicago, plus I'm ready to go home. Anyways, here's my rational:
1) The flight we took over here from Chicago was 21 hours (which included a layover in Newark). The flight from Singapore to L.A. is 16 hours (every hour counts)!
2) The flight from L.A. to Chicago is 4 hours, but we will have a week in L.A. before we fly home.
3) We were contemplating stopping in London, but decided that it probably wouldn't make things easier, since we would only be there for a few days. Plus the flight from Singapore to London is 12 hours and London to Chicago is 8 hours.
4) Although it will be a long flight for just Paige and I, in all actuality it was just Paige and I on the flight over here. If you recall, Paige wanted nothing to do with Mark.
5) The way the plane is configured, Mark probably wouldn't be able to sit with us anyways. He sat in a different row on the way over, since there are only 4 seats across.....two in the middle and one on each side.
For some strange reason, I'm not dreading my return flight as much I dreaded the flight over here. Maybe it's because I know what to expect or perhaps I'm just focused on getting home rather than the journey.
I now have less than a month left and I know it's going to fly by. We have a lot going on between now and then. We are going to Phuket, Thailand this weekend for a few days and then off to Australia in two weeks. Although I've enjoyed my time over here, I'm looking forward to going home.
