I'm back in the U. S., but not home.  Flew today from Quito to Bogota & am now in Miami.  Tomorrow I am to fly home.  I don't want to say that I'm floundering, but things are different here.  First of all, my cell phone from here does work, but I was clueless about what my password is to listen to a voicemail.  Fortunately I eventually remembered it, but it took several hours to recall!  I went to a restaurant for dinner & was SHOCKED by the prices on the menu--a real wake-up call that I'm not in Ecuador.  I also forgot that when going to the bathroom I can put the toilet paper in the toilet instead of the wastebasket.  There's lots of adjusting to do........
