I don't think your lack of excitement means you're a dickhead; I think it means you're being intellectually honest...and also taking the time to separate out two different thoughts (seeing your daughter=awesome. Going back to SF= Meh). As you note, both things can be true at the same time. We're just (collectively) used to papering that over to keep up appearances.

Keeping up appearances - exactly.

The flight was a good one. We arrived early. LEVEL is worth checking out if you plan to come to Spain. You would just have to get yourself to one of the few US cities the fly from. Easy for you!

Looks like the closest is New York! Not bad!

As budget airlines go, they're not bad. We sprung/splurged for premium economy for this leg of the flight. I guess it was worth it. The extra room made it easier for me to work.

The prices are right. Basically around 500 to get between Spain and major US markets. Not bad at all. A little less from New York, I think?

When you find the place of true home, it calls you to stay. A true home is a place of enjoyment, comfort, and it fulfills you. I find it sad to not like where you live. I know too many that dread pulling into their driveways. Too many people feeling that way, creates an overall societal feeling of unhappiness and/or depression.

Whenever I leave here, there is a feeling of relief. You get refreshed when you are away from it. A weight is lifted.

You will have a great time in San Fran, because you are here for a purpose, not to stay. You will be getting back to your new life in a blink of an eye.
