Home and unpacking

After 26 hours of flying and a 9 hour time change, we are home at least. Missing narrow streets, musical chatter and tapas. We learned:
1- eat before you are hungry otherwise looking for a restaurant is a desperate act. Desperate people do desperate things.
2- don't expect shops or sites to be open during the holidays in a catholic country
3-you still have to go thoroughly security checks when you make connects (don't buy anything liquid in duty free if you have to go through security)
4- First Class domestic flying is not the same as international
5-if you spend a lot of time in museums expect to unpack the contents of your bag and arrange it like a still life before putting away
6-come home with enough foreign current to fund the next trip back
