[博主按]：本来希望在出发前在博客发个信息，告知即将回国的消息，但因为科学网系统更新，几次尝试未果，加之组里的几位同事太热情，临走前还要请我吃饭（其实此前已经聚餐欢送好几次了），时间很紧，只好暂时放弃发博文的念头。吃完火锅后，同事少波兄开车送我去机场，来时是他到机场接我，走时又是他送，功德圆满，感恩在心。顺利到达明尼阿波利斯机场，去达美（Delta）柜台办理了登机和托运后顺利通过安检。因为美国经济不景气，国内航班凡是托运包裹都要收费，我虽后程是国际航班，但前半程属美国国内航线，无奈花了25刀托运一个，自己带了一个拉杆箱和一个背包。飞机准点出发，经过3个半小时的飞行，尽管路遇强气流飞机剧烈颠簸把俺从睡梦中抖醒了几次，但总体上很顺利抵达西雅图国际机场。到这里转机还需要等待四五个小时，本想在这里转转，但因为在这里转机换乘美联航的飞机，需要取出行李再托运，加之深夜，外面下雨，就只好待在机场里。正好广播不停的说机场有免费无线Wi-Fi可用。于是找地方舒舒服服的坐下，上网冲浪。首先就来了科学网，看看系统升级完成了没有，以便完成此博文。留此存照。2011年1月16日凌晨于西雅图机场。

美国短期访学结束再别明尼苏达，启程回国并顺访夏大

光阴似箭，日月如梭。此次来美国明尼苏达大学短期访学一晃就结束了，不曾想不到两年的时间又要再别明尼苏达了。虽然这次时间很短，只有3个月，但这次访学的收获还是很大的，等回国后慢慢总结消化吸收。再过几小时我就要告别明尼苏达大学，踏上回国的征程。因为上一次回国前，发了博文“别了，明尼苏达”（http://www.sciencenet.cn/m/user_content.aspx?id=277055），结果回去好久也不上博客，以致引起博友误解，一想飞机怎么飞了好几周还没有到北京？是否被劫机了？于是通过各种途径打听我的去处！此次出发前就把行程贴于此，以便消除误解。因为单独预定返程机票的方便和联系业务需要，回程时在夏威夷停留3天，一则访问夏大——夏威夷大学（不是厦门大学），二则也顺便游览一下珍珠港，看看当年日本小兵是怎么收拾骄傲的美国大兵的！听说那里的风光很美，我倒要去看看究竟如何？我在想，虽然海景很美，但一年四季都如此，没有什么变化，天天看着海，也未必就那么爽心悦目吧！
