We had an uneventful flight from Quito to Houston, TX,
though I was still sick. (Believe me, it is NOT fun flying when you are under
the weather!) Customs went quickly. In fact, we’d pulled away from our
gate on our flight home from Houston and were about to take off for Boston when the captain came on the
loudspeaker to announce that an engine warning light had come on! We ended up
leaving the plane and standing by the gate for a while. Turns out the plane was
fine, so we just had a 90-minute delay getting home, which stunk!
It was a bittersweet moment coming home. Of course I was
happy to be in familiar territory and to see my family again. But I felt a bit sad
to end my travels, and a lot sad to say goodbye to the network of fellow
educators I’d built over the past 10 days. Guess I’ll just have to go on
another study tour in the future so I can do it all again!
