Who turned off the warmth?
I mean, it was a little chilly in the transition between plane & embarkation tube thingy, but that’s to be expected. This on the Big Red Couch with a blanket thing, on the other hand, goes to show just how quickly you can get used to Indianapolis weather.

The flight back to Auckland was pretty uneventful*, just long & dull. Napping occurred, but not uninterrupted sleep, and I’m trying to stay awake during the day so as to accelerate the adjustment to a new time zone.
* there were two people in my earshot who either hadn’t pre-ordered the special meal, or who had done so in such a way that it didn’t get through to catering

Breakfast happened early on flight NZ7 thanks to possible Clear Air Turbulence on our route at a bad time for food service. The turbulence didn’t eventuate, and an entirely ordinary landing happened.

No luggage hassles this time, thankfully, other than the delay of a 747-load of luggage all at once & the difficulty of spotting your personal bag on the carousel through all of the other people doing exactly the same thing.

Biosecurity was a non-event, as cooked seed things aren’t a thing they’re worried about, though they did X-Ray both of my bags, I’m assuming as part of the “well, since you declared things …” process.

Kevin & Tonya had braved the cold, dark & fog to pick me up, and drove me back to the flat, putting up with barely-coherent Wooo Gen Con! ramblings along the way.

My goal for the day was to go to bed at a reasonable time, and not to sleep too much during the day.
Yes to the first one, but given that it’s 2:40 am, may have taken too many micro naps, or macro naps.
~shrug~

Aside from the horrible cough, I feel pretty good, and I have already started the preliminary noodling with bits of paper for 2015.
WorldCon 2014 in London almost exactly overlaps GenCon, but the same is not true of the proposed but not-yet-voted-upon Helsinki 2015; There is a three-day gap between the two, so it would technically be possible to attend both.
