Yup, I finally decided to come home for the Christmas season. I don’t have to work from Dec 24 – Jan 11 so I’ll fill two of those weeks in the States! And I can’t wait! I miss you all so much. Now, I am taking a bit of a chance by doing this. Legally, an American is only allowed to stay in Spain for 90 days. If they want to stay longer, they have to return to their country of origin for another 90 days before they can come back. When I fly out of here this week I’ll have been here for a little over 100 days. Getting into the US will be no problem. The only problem I may encounter is when I try and re-enter Spain. If they actually take the time to look in my passport and see that I was here longer than I should have been, they can send me back to the US on the next flight home. However, everyone I’ve spoken to says that they don’t normally check that thoroughly and I’d have to be terribly unlucky to have any problems. I don’t want to talk about this anymore for fear that I may jinx myself. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

OK, I’ve talked your ear off enough for now. Hopefully I’ll get to see you when I’m home for New Year’s. Let me know what you’ll be up to.

On my own pretending you’re beside me,
Josh
