I am back in the land of the United States of America, locked down in the middle of the country on the tail end of a 4-hour layover in Mineapolis-St. Paul. We left Israel at 1 a.m. Tel Aviv time, arrived at JFK at 5 a.m. New York time, and made our way to our domestic flight plans.

Mine just happened to include two 4-hour layovers. In about an hour, I'll hopefully boarding this NWA flight to Portland, getting me back to my homeland at 7 p.m. and putting me back in Corvallis around 9. At which point I have so much to do but have very little energy.

And because I'm so drained, I cannot offer anymore depth on the trip at this time. I hope to write more later on and post it here.

Good day,
Dan
