I apologize that I haven’t posted anything since we arrived back in the USA. We left Istanbul very early in the morning (thank you Fatih for being there at 4:30am to pick us up).  We flew Istanbul to Munich; Munich to Charlotte, NC; and Charlotte to Lynchburg. The entire trip was about 20 hours but, with the change in the time zone, it was the longest day ever!  It was also my birthday – a plane ride around the world was the perfect gift.

On Friday, the equipment was delivered back to our warehouse.  Alan, Chase, and I unloaded the truck and moved the cases.  We will come back in a couple of days and go through everything to make sure it’s all good.

We are trying to gear up for the holidays.  The temperatures are still warm here – in the 50’s and 60’s – so it’s tough to think “winter holiday” when the weather is like this.  However, I’m not complaining – I’ll take warm weather over cold weather any time!

Our entire team is taking the next few days to relax, enjoy family and friends, and get back into the time zone.  Things pick back up again in early January so we’re going to make the best of the time we have.

Merry Christmas everyone…and may 2012 bring you peace, prosperity, and health.
