The flight from Paris was uneventful and eerily familiar. Perhaps it was the humorless costumes that our rather “seasoned” United flight attendants were wearing. Perhaps it was their American English, which seemed grating and out of place. Perhaps it was the English menus. Whatever it was, for better or worse, it felt like home. We floated over the tarmac and finally touched down at Chicago’s O’Hare airport. We exited the plane and stepped onto US soil for the first time in 8 months. That didn’t feel odd. What did feel odd was returning to a country that you weren’t quite sure you still identified with. The immigration agents seemed surly compared to other countries, as if to try and intimidate you upon your arrival. It sure didn’t feel like “Welcome home!” The train between the gates seemed slow compared to months of European train travel, and the airport seemed sloppy and disorganized. As we were scanned for weapons, the TSA Agent, noticing Griffin’s checkpoint Charlie T-Shirt proudly stated, “That place doesn’t exist anymore.” to which Griffin replied “Yes it does! We were just there, and they have this really cool museum!” The agent said “Really?” grunted and shrugged… We were all thinking: Is this the place we left?
