Vacation Statistics

Well. I'm back in Delaware, finally, and pretty happy to not be travelling anymore. Europe was unbelievable, and I can't wait until I live there, but there is something to be said for not living out of a suitcase and having to talk to innumerable relatives all the time. So here I am, and here are a few numbers...
Days gone: 52
Countries visited: 5 (Austria, Czech Republic... well, drove through anyway... Poland, Scotland, Germany)
Dollars left in my bank account: $17.12
Family Members Visited/seen: 25 (15 within the course of my 4 day visit to Poland)
CDs bought: 6
Books read: none, completely
Movies seen: one
Boys kissed: no comment
Planes taken: 7
Intercity Busses taken: 4
Intercity Trains taken: 1
New Visas on my passport: 7
Times I was quite thoroughly frisked: 2 (the Polish girl was especially enthusiastic)
Bills waiting for me at home: Many, most of them angry letters from Cingular
Bags lost: 1, hopefully on its way back from Frankfurt right now
Crackpot ideas floating around in my head: countless
Messages on my voicemail when I got back: One. From work. Thanks a lot, guys.

And that's all for now... I think I am going to take a shower in my pretty new shower, and start my day. I went to bed a little before midnight last night, and got up around 7 this morning. Hopefully that's the end of the whole jetlag business. At any rate, I'm pretty happy to be attending to my own chaos again.
