London --> Philly --> Phoenix --> Cabo San Lucas --> San Francisco --> London
Whew!After a whirlwind trip over the past week we're back in London. We've experienced pre-dawn taxi rides in London and Philly, near freezing temperatures in Philly, stunningly perfect weather in Cabo and finally characteristically overcast and drizzling London. So what have we learned in the past 7 days? Let's do a quick recap:
10) 29 hours of air time in 1 week - nothing when compared to the reward of seeing so many friends and family
9) Philly's food - yeah it still rocks. Roast pork w/ sharp provolone and broccoli rabe - check! Geno's wiz wit, wit Hughes - check! Shrimp pil pil, octopus and a Greek from Dmitri's - check!
8) United airlines - you're going to pay, I hope to call down the wrath of the internet on you bumbling muppets
7) Fall foliage in November along the 95 corridor - sorry Europe, you can't compete on this one
6) US Airways - paying for water? No in-flight entertainment on a 5 hour flight? Might as well fly the plane myself - I'll get to you when I'm done with United.
5) Taco Cantina - a hidden jewel in the heart of Cabo - beware of the green sauce it will work you
4) Big brother + baja buggies at 50 mph - only if you fancy spending 15 minutes strapped into a flipped car
3) People to thank at your wedding - your parents, her parents and her - your best friend's brother probably should come some ways down the list
2) Land's End - what a way to spend a few hours, stay out of the surf on the Pacific side and watch out for the rocks with teeth - just ask Kirsten
1) Ladies and gentleman, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Francis Peter Reeves III - may their union be as long and beautiful as the beaches of Cabo
