How long did the Chicago -> Montreal -> London flight take? Seems like it could have been a killer with the layover. And spending a night in the airport? Blech. But the camping should be a blast, and visits to the parents' homestead are always great. As far as Sheena's trip, we had plenty of downtime with each other, and it's always fun spending time in the car with her -- lots of time for good conversations. Once the semester is over, I'm heading over there for a couple of months, which in addition to Shanghai and Suzhou, will include a trip to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Jiu Zhai Gou" rel="nofollow">Jiu Zhai Gou</a> and Cambodia. So you can understand why I'm itchy for the semster to be over already! That’s nuts! How long did the Chicago -> Montreal -> London flight take?

I've probably logged more miles than you have in the last month, but you've probably logged as many if not more hours in transit! Mine looks something like this: Champaign > Chicago Chicago > Montreal > London (overnight flight) London > Porto (1 night) Porto > Vilar do Pinheiro (on foot, one night) Vilar do Pinheiro > Vilarinho > Porto > Vigo (one night) Vigo > Santiago (one night) Santiago > London (three nights) London > Toronto (overnight flight, spent the night in the airport) Toronto > Chicago > Champaign (back for a week and a half) Champaign > Southern IL > Champaign (two nights' camping, leaving this am and returning Monday) Champaign > Chicago > Champaign (Cubs game Tuesday night) Champaign > Rockford > Madison > Rockford > Champaign (two nights at my folks' next weekend) Travel is great but exhausting, and I hope you and Sheena had lots of quality downtime together!
