Welcome back!

Please join me in praising God for a blissfully uneventful trip to the US!  I arrived very well Tuesday afternoon, and went through Immigration, retrieved my luggage (that was on the carousel as I approached it), and went through Customs in record time.  I consider that a small miracle.

The only Ebola-ish encounter I had was when we disembarked at Amsterdam, where we were met by two VERY tall policemen at the gate, who were reviewing passports and inquiring of our final destination.  I was behind a young man who had been conversing with the policeman in [presumably] Dutch, when the policeman switched to English and demanded, "are you nervous?"  Despite the negative answer, he asked the young man to join a couple others who had been pulled aside for further investigation.

I had had had a raging headache, and was a bit nervous to take any Advil lest anyone accuse me of trying to reduce a fever, but I needn't have worried.  No one else seemed to care that there were passengers who had been in Africa onboard, despite the media hype.
