after circling the airport a few times, but she wasn't lost either

Absolutely not! I'm never lost. I just sometimes choose to explore my destination options in a creative and unconventional non-linear manner.

Can't ask for a better meal than that, can you?

Wish you'd been here long enough to feed you some decent fajitas, but at least we got you some hashbrowns. And I suspect I babbled inanely at least part of the time, because I think I may have gotten so used to talking to people I've known for years that I may be rusty at talking to new folks. Sorry!

I have a slight giraffe fixation.

Oh, me too! Platypi might be slightly cooler---duck bills!---but it'a a close one.

I'm glad you made it home safe and sound!
