Today we are in London's Heathrow Airport in the business class lounge. We have clean running water, no dust, internet access, and free food and drinks. Too bad it is 5:30 in the morning.
Talk about a world away. We have had a long journey from Arusha to Naiorobi. That was a 6 hour dusty bus ride. Then we had a long day in Nairobi airport (about 12 hours), and a very late flight out of Nairobi to London.
This lounge is an amazingly civilized place for us. We had long hot showers and put away our very dusty clothes, and are very happy to be in a place where we have clean water and no dust.
We will be back home later today, but it will be tomorrow to us, I'll have to work that out later.
I plan to add many photos to this blog when I get home, so stay tuned. I have added our summit photo on the summit day post- it seems like a world away right now.
To everyone at home, we can't wait to see you all again. We missed all of you, and loved reading your comments and encouragement on the way up the mountain. It really helped.
Rizzo and Lucy, we always come home, we told you that. We can't wait to throw balls for you again.

The dogs are so excited, I told them this morning that you all will be back tonight and they just can't wait. We had snow on the ground this morning even though last weekend it was in the low 50s! Lucy was the only one I know excited about this and rolled on her back as soon as I opened the door!! She sure can be so cute!
ReplyDeleteSee you in a few hours!!
Welcome Home! What a wonderful, wonderful journey (Safari!). I so enjoyed being able to keep up with you girls - you are amazing! Can't wait to see all the photos! I've printed out the pic of the top of Kili and have it displayed on the fridge (the place of Highest Honor!). I am ridiculously proud of you!
