The Great [Fire] Wall

Ok, back from a rather extended hiatus... Seems with world events going on right now, access will be limited. The World Expo should "reopen" blogs to give the perception of free and open media. So, we'll have to chronicle the past few months retrospectively in the next few days before we're back on the other side of "The Wall".
Anyway, we made it back home from a long 14.5 hour flight from South Korea, through customs and immigration in record time...nothing short of a miracle. Given the draconian measures taken in Asia to either contain H1N1 or give the appearance that it was under control, we're lucky to have not been stopped anywhere. It was touch-and-go through the Seoul-Incheon airport in South Korea when approaching the health screening area and Veronica breaks into a coughing fit about 20 feet away from the examiners...really bad timing on her part.
Immigration and Customs in Dulles Airport in Washington was oddly easy, all in less than about 20 minutes from when we stepped off the plane to when we came through immigration, baggage claim and all! Here we come!
