So, assuming flights are on schedule (big assumption, I know), BobnDana should be at the airport and KrabbyPatty is probably out there right now to pick them up. They do have a 3+ hour drive back to Iowa still ahead of them before they're really home. But this afternoon they'll be reunited with family (on dkw's side, at least) and Smokey... Bets on one or both of them posting today before that Iowa drive?

I vote with as soon as they walk in the door at home.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
No, it'll take longer than that... they have to fight over the computer, first.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
They have separate computers, don't they?
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Ah, ok. Never mind then.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
I was just thinking today how much I have missed them. Welcome back!
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
Home their own house in Radcliffe, or Home dkw's parents' house? Though actually there's multiple computers in each one. But there would be a few hour time difference between one and the other.

I'm sure they're knackered but we can't wait to hear all about their honeymoon (ooops, perhaps not all but lots anyway) Welcome Home Bob and Dana!!!

What, they don't have laptops with wireless modems installed??? LOL

And satilite phones too, to post while driving?

I'm glad they got back across the pond safely. I wonder if all their shopping fitted in their cases! We met up yesterday and browsed through Charing Cross Road bookshops and had coffee and desserts in a lovely cafe on Leicester Square (Bob to Dana: "Choose me something with lots of whipped cream... oh, and strawberries"). We talked and laughed and generally had a ball.

Welcome home, Bob and Dana! Can't wait to hear about London.
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
I got my gift already. Yummy!
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
This thread should definitely stay on the front page.
Welcome back Bob and Dana!
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
I think I lost the bet, except that no one bet against me.

Rivka, you beat me at least. As OP I didn't explicitly say where my money was on this one, but I was pretty sure they'd post from here in MN. But they didn't stay for long, so I understand that. (I missed them entirely, being at work until 6:30) Bob has work to do tomorrow, and dkw has parishioners to get back to. I suggest we pester them. (once a little brother, always a little brother)
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
But . . . how do we pester them if they won't post?
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
There are things that you two, as siblings, can get away with that I cannot.
Go for it. Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Nah. I'm not going to call them on their first night back from their honeymoon, after an international flight, when they're trying to re-adjust their sleep patterns. That would be just mean. Besides, they already admitted to check Hatrack twice while they were in London. I'm sure they'll be here bright and early tomorrow. Posted by larisse (Member # 2221) on :
Welcome back, BobnDana!!! Hope you had a wonderful Honeymoon filled with beautiful memories that last a lifetime.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
And if they're not here bright and early, then you call them, right?
What? O:)
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
I'm with Raia on this one. They'll come back when they're good and ready.
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Well, ya figure they've got to be up.... they need to let the dog out.
Still ain't gonna call. Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
Yep. Ain't gonna go there. NosirreeBobnDana.
Welcome back!
Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
Got hit by lightning while we were gone. Fried a switch, so no internet or phone when we got home. Fixed now, and computers, phones, etc are fine.
I'll download pictures and my travel journal later today. Nice to see you all.
So, what exciting things happened while we were offline?
Posted by Papa Janitor (Member # 7795) on :
Nothing much.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
She already knew about that. *pout* I tried to surprise her with it yesterday.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Well, shoot.... Welcome back anyway, guys.
So... what happened while you were gone? Hmmm????
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
I knew it would take an Act of God to keep them from getting on Hatrack last night.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
Actually, we didn't even try last night. We got home at 9:30, which was 3:30am London time, and collapsed. Found out this morning around sixish and had to wait for the phone company to open at eight.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
I assume you're talking about rivka's post, rather than mine?
Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
Papa, apparently communications for that kind of thing requires some outside help when you're knackered.
Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
:choke:
Yeah, I was. Though it would be accurate for either, I suppose.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
O_O
You're not supposed to almost kill her on the first morning back!
Wait until tomorrow, at least.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Welcome home, amis. Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Huzzah!
Posted by Papa Sopwith (Member # 7524) on :
Welcome home and may the years ahead be filled with blessings beyond your wildest, shared dreams!
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
First day back? Wow, she must have a great insurance policy then...
Welcome back!

Well, to start with, your house got hit by lightning...
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
Welcome home, many blessings, and I'm so glad you weren't there when lightening struck. Hope that the time change adjustment goes smoothly!
*is still laughing at rivka's observation that it would take an act of God to keep them from posting*
