This year, we left Grenada the same day as Peter's last final in order to maximize our time with family.  It took two days to travel, and we rested well upon our arrival.  We were in Colorado from December 15 through December 26th.  This gave us only five business days to get an unimaginable amount of tasks accomplished and made it difficult to spend much time with our friends and family.
