It will soon be time for my first trip back to the old country since moving to California.

This will be a bit weird. Although I will be going home, I will not actually be going home. Normally at LAX I get the feeling that my vacation is over. This time however I will be going on vacation. Likewise when I return from London I will be not going on vacation but returning home from vacation.

Also, because I have lived in both the US and the UK, both destinations are no longer exotic for me. So, it will be like going home from home, then returning home from home. Weird!
