Laura and I are on our way to the airport having said bye to Jasmine, Winston, and Fr. Bob. What was a handshake greeting turned into a strong hug goodbye.

I can’t wait to share the experience with my friends and family via my photos, videos, and stories. I have boring kodak slide shows for family gatherings covered for the rest of my life, and I won’t have to show the same photo twice.

We just got to the airport. More from the States soon.

Didn’t get to hit save in time. I’ve now been through 3 security screenings (Three? Really?) and am finally waiting at the gate. A woman right in frot of me attempted to put a Big Gulp of water on the conveyer belt, which of course failed miserably as the cup spilled over everything. They shut down that lane to clean up, but Laura convinced security that our bags had been through worse and they finally let us go through.

PaP airport has fantastic wifi connectivity by the way. The first time I’ve had an Internet connection all trip.

Our plane just got here. Can’t wait for that cold, dry cabin air. And some coffee. No more of these 5:45am alarms thank you.

A few random shots below.
