- 2.5 years since our last trip to Brazil
- 48 days away from home (boys & I) - a lot, but our average stay
- 14 days spent at my parents' house (very little compared to previous visits)
- 25 days away from home (K)
- 6 days spent at my parents' house (K)
- 7 Brazilian states my parents & I drove through/visited
- 5 Brazilian state capitals visited
- 7 flights taken by the boys & I
- 2 teeth lost by youngest son
- 11 mosquito bites on my left calf/leg (and a few more on the right) [probably from Friday night]
- 7 suitcases full of stuff taken back home (close to 70 lbs each -- Brazilian travelers get a higher allowance as required by Brazil's laws)
- 16 years since K had last had a meaningful conversation with our dear friend C
- 8 hours he/we spent talking to her nonstop
- 111.33 lbs (50.5) my weight at the end of the trip, the most I've ever weighed in my entire life while not-pregnant (please don't get mad at me, I've always been way underweight, weighing from 92-97 lbs most of my life.
