Good to be not-away

While I can't say I was home-sick or eager to get back to work, it's definitely good to be not-elsewhere. There's something soothingly comfortable about familiarity and non-requisite mobile-living. Especially when considering the nearly mind-boggling stats:

• 4,145 miles traveled since we left, twelve days prior


• 71 hours 19 minutes "on the road" (includes rest stops, doesn't include sleep stops)


• 57 hours, 20 minutes of actual driving time (all stops factored out)


• 24 gas stops at a cost greater than $420 (Average MPG: 24)


• Major Trip Highlights (since not all the blog entries are complete, edited, and posted yet): Disneyland, Giants game, San Francisco touristy stuff, Aquarium on the Bay, the beach and boardwalk of Santa Cruz, Mt. Lemmon, Meteor Crater, and lots of family visiting in four different cities.
