The short story is that I've recovered from my illness (the doctor thinks I had influenza) and have returned from my trip.
The long story will probably never be written. I'm not good about writing about trips home. Some families get together to do things; my family gets together simply to spend time together. That involves talking and eating and watching movies and playing games and laughing about little things and just generally being around each other. That was really the point of the entire trip, and it was enough.
We ate wonderful home cooked food. We caught up with each other in person instead of through e-mail or over the phone. We learned a new word: weanus (the loose skin around the elbow). We laughed and played games. We ate jelly beans early since we won't all be around at Easter. We said some really sad goodbyes on Monday morning, knowing that we won't all be together again until after June 2009.
So I would end to say that it was good to be home. That might be about all I can say.

I had a very good time also, and so far no one else has gotten sick. Yay!!!!
this is lovely. families should get together just to be together. I'm glad you have a nice trip, even if it was marred by the flu.
thanks for posting :)
I have to add, that everyone should be able to go home and have their mom take care of them when they're sick. So, even though you were sick, you got that :)
Ahhh... reading this made me miss my family in Romania... I am SO glad you got to spend time with yours. See you in a few weeks!
those are the best kinds of family get togethers!
