Back Home Safe and Sound

We made it back home leaving Bangkok on Jan 29 at 7pm and arriving in Vancouver on Jan 29 at 8pm yet somehow the flight felt like 18 hours and not 1 hour.

We were met by Jim and Bea who spirited us back to Touchwood with a bag of breakfast goodies. The house was fine in our absence thanks to having been looked after by Adrienne, Eric and Tracy.

The first few days back are all about getting equilibrium back and opening all the post. Jetlag has us in its grip as we are sleeping deeply for 4-6 hour stretches and then wide awake at 4am.

To balance out the memories of 30 deg sunny beaches we are going snowshoeing this friday and to maintain the sense that we are still on holiday even though we are at home. Canada is just another country on our neverending round the world tour.

Go ahead and say what you really came home to...

...except our car was dinged, long strands of black hair could be found clinging to every surface, bits of processed cheese were wedged in our fridge bins, more glasses were smashed than at a Greek wedding...
