One moment of the trip home sticks out in my mind.
Setting: US Customs in Houston, Texas
Cast: Joe Customs Agent, Joyce (me) and Chrissy
Scene One
Chrissy clears customs, by less-than transparent means. =) Joyce honestly discloses that "we" walked through a pasture while in England. Joe calls back Chrissy.
Conversation
Joe: Did you walk through a pasture in the UK?
Chrissy: I forgot about that.
Final Scene
Joe reams Chrissy for lying to a US Customs Agent. Joyce doesn't get reamed. Both Chrissy and Joyce have to dig through their luggage to get out the shoes they wore while walking in the pasture.
Note: Joyce got to use her walkie talkies while walking through the pastures in England.
Moral
Always use walkie talkies while walking in English pastures - they might improve memory.

Ahem, well I went through customs, had declared on my form that I'd been through a pasture, and they didn't even so much as glance at me - waved me on impatiently. So I didn't stop. =) I was running late for my connect anyway. I hope some horrible disease doesn't break out and they trace it back to me... =\
Oops I did not even think about saying anything about that.....whoops! There were 4 others on the plane from Manchester to Atlanta as well and none of us even mentioned that! I sure hope we did not bring anything back! Does this mean I need to disenfect my shoes I wore? (ha)
del did you lie too?
