To avoid
taking

over 2600 pictures. Fear not, I've winnowed them to a few overall Highlight
Pictures and some highlights
for each leg, as listed on the left.
Nine flights:

At least a half-mile walk from plane to customs area. Too tired, we hopped a taxi to our
hotel rather than await the courtesy shuttle at 1AM. Good thing too,
because the hotel immediately shipped us off to another hotel. In the
morning I was able to convince them that for our inconvenience they
should at least buy us breakfast. Courtesy van to ariport, US Airways
to Pittsburgh. Ellyn picked us up. We were very glad to once more see
home.
