Our ambitious plans of hitting multiple Christmas parties fell through as we were having so much fun at the first one that we never made it in time to the second one. Public transportation sure is hard to get back into once you are used to being able to drive everywhere. the fact that it's getting quite cold sure doesn't help when you have to stand around waiting for the bus, if it arrives on time at all. Food was eaten, drinks were plenty, and new friends were made, so it was a good time.
Today we're going to run our errands, relax a bit (AKA watch DVR) and start packing for our Tuesday flight.
