The Journey Home

It´s an overflight night from Buenos Aires (via Santiago, Chile) to Toronto and then to Ottawa. I´ll have the Labour Day weekend off into to get everything sorted at home--laundry, grocery shopping, sorting through three months of mail and email, etc. I officially begin work on Tuesday, the day after Labour Day. It´ll be like a new beginning.

I am looking forward to coming back home. It will be nice to sleep in my own bed, where it is quiet, dark and without sharing accomodations. No more travelling out of a suitcase, with its limited selection of clothes. It´ll be good to get back into a regular rountine, though hopefully not get so bogged down with meetings and work that I forget the pace of the last three months.

Unlike my previous trips, I have not purchased many souvenirs. (Even my large house is getting too full of them). But I do have lots of pictures to sort through--nearly 2500 of them. Selecting, printing and posting the best ones will keep me busy for months.

Six more sleeps until the 8th.
