10. Wondering if the pilot thinks the plane is a bucking bronco.
9. Being told your baggage is going to have a longer vacation than you will.
8. Your cat's greeting when you get home. He was not happy with the house/cat sitter and has left you "presents" in strategic places; in your bed, the master bathroom tub, basically all the places you told the house sitter not to go.
7. Cranky children, who haven't gotten over jet lag yet, are not to be trifled with.
6. Neither are cranky adults who haven't gotten over jet lag yet.
5. Sunburn.
4. Finding out the post office forgot to hold your mail. The mailbox is so full you need a crowbar to get everything out.
3. You discover your neighbor has recently taken up a new hobby. The bagpipes. As his wife has already banned him from playing in the house, he plays outside. In a kilt.
2. Figuring out the currency exchange rate has changed, and not in your favor.
1. Pictures of your destination will never be enough anymore.

10. Sleeping in your own bed.
9. You can once again sing along to the radio in the car without death threats from your children. Well, at least when they aren't in the car with you.
8. Your dog's greeting when you pick him up from the kennel.
7. Finding the postcard your daughter mailed herself amongst the junk mail.
6. Getting back into your usual routine…. Or at least as much of a routine as there may be.
5. Telling your friends and family about the trip
4. Finally getting the post-vacation laundry done
3. Getting a hug from your daughter, as she says, "That was the best vacation EVER!"
2. When you feel the floor shaking, you know it's just a quirk of your house, and not an earthquake.
1. Pictures will never do your vacation destination justice again, but they remind of that God's glory still shines all around the earth.
Isaiah 6:3b (NIV) "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD God Almighty. The whole earth is full of His glory.
