It’s good to be home again. Flew in yesterday and had the little family greet me at the nearby Salina airport. (After I called to let them know I had landed!) They were sitting outside the tiny facility enjoying the nice temperature, and were just heading inside to check if I was on the little plane that landed.

Having 3 daughters (in 2 and 1/2 years) has always been thrilling, to say the least. We immediately settled into our typical routine of talking, laughing, and poking fun at each other. Kendra locked her keys in her car at the airport; Kelsey was the “good child” and wore a tee shirt sent to her from Antarctica. Kaysha, being the oldest and smartest stood hugging her mom!  We headed to a nearby restaurant and had a wonderful time catching up on the latest in their lives.  I noticed they made sure to ask if I had it ‘out of my system’ with no plans to return.  I assured them I would stay home.  (But made certain I didn’t use a time frame that I would stay home in!)

My time in Antarctica is over. All that is left are my memories and a few thousand photos!  I hope to do a few more ‘talks’ to groups and continue to encourage anyone who has the slightest desire to go.

… it already feels like a dream. I set my alarm this morning to attend my regular Kiwanis meeting. (Fly home on a Sunday afternoon – get up early on Monday morning and start the week!) Everyone is greeting and saying ‘welcome back’, yet I don’t feel like I’ve been gone.  Very strange feeling, because I can also stand in my house and turn circles, being unsure of what to do and where to go to do it.

Yes, my body is definitely out of whack. Must be something to do with having been to the bottom of the world. Only one cure possible.

 ….I must go to the TOP!!! (insert crazy moohahaaa laughter)  

Who wants to go with me?
