41. The Return: PPT-LAX-ATL-[GSO] (11/8 & 11/9/2024) [Photos Only - TEXT COMING]

The Te Moana lagoon at daybreak

       This is it. A week ago, I couldn’t wait for this day to come. I wanted to get back to my normal life, my husband, Pepper my anxious dog. My feelings started getting muddier over the last few days, probably because I don’t yet know what my “normal life” is going to look like. I’ve been holding off on creating resumes, updating my LinkedIn profile, starting to search for jobs until this trip, and now it’s coming to an end. I originally told myself that I was going to start my job search while we were away, but between the time spent on the blog and all the unproductive time standing in lines at airports, no such job search has been initiated.

We were woken up by Dad at 5:30 am, who was calling to get Mom’s PIN for an airlines loyalty program. That
