So, assuming flights are on schedule (big assumption, I know), BobnDana should be at the airport and KrabbyPatty is probably out there right now to pick them up. They do have a 3+ hour drive back to Iowa still ahead of them before they're really home. But this afternoon they'll be reunited with family (on dkw's side, at least) and Smokey...
Bets on one or both of them posting today before that Iowa drive?

No, it'll take longer than that... they have to fight over the computer, first.

Home their own house in Radcliffe, or Home dkw's parents' house?
Though actually there's multiple computers in each one. But there would be a few hour time difference between one and the other.

*envisions a homecoming where all baggage is dropped in the first available spot and a quick stroll to the computer while attempting to project an air of complacency*

I'm sure they're knackered but we can't wait to hear all about their honeymoon (ooops, perhaps not all but lots anyway) Welcome Home Bob and Dana!!! [The Wave]

I'm glad they got back across the pond safely. I wonder if all their shopping fitted in their cases! We met up yesterday and browsed through Charing Cross Road bookshops and had coffee and desserts in a lovely cafe on Leicester Square (Bob to Dana: "Choose me something with lots of whipped cream... oh, and strawberries"). We talked and laughed and generally had a ball.

Rivka, you beat me at least. As OP I didn't explicitly say where my money was on this one, but I was pretty sure they'd post from here in MN. But they didn't stay for long, so I understand that. (I missed them entirely, being at work until 6:30) Bob has work to do tomorrow, and dkw has parishioners to get back to.
I suggest we pester them. (once a little brother, always a little brother)

Nah. I'm not going to call them on their first night back from their honeymoon, after an international flight, when they're trying to re-adjust their sleep patterns. That would be just mean. Besides, they already admitted to check Hatrack twice while they were in London. I'm sure they'll be here bright and early tomorrow. [Smile]

Got hit by lightning while we were gone. Fried a switch, so no internet or phone when we got home. Fixed now, and computers, phones, etc are fine.

I'll download pictures and my travel journal later today. Nice to see you all.

So, what exciting things happened while we were offline?

Actually, we didn't even try last night. We got home at 9:30, which was 3:30am London time, and collapsed. Found out this morning around sixish and had to wait for the phone company to open at eight.

Papa, apparently communications for that kind of thing requires some outside help when you're knackered.
