Home, safe and sound

Well, I am home safe and sound. After one hell of a trip home, I got here. My flight from Auckland was delayed 5 hours, so I had to run to catch my flight in San Fran. Plus the tvs weren't working, making for a very long 13 hour flight. I was supposed to have 6 hours between, but that was significantly reduced. So I ran, and then our gate had been changed, and then they announced that our flight was delayed for an hour. So, I went next door to the bar that was showing the Calgary hockey game and ordered a beer with a bunch of people on the flight. Then somebodies wife came over and said they were loading the plane. So we all downed our beers and got on the plane after only 20 minutes wait. Ok, so get to Calgary and wait at the luggage terminal and oh, no, no bags for Ali. So had to make a lost luggage claim. Anyways, Mom and Dad were there to pick me up and I got to go to Peter's for burgers and a milk shake (Oh, I love Peter's). Finally home at 2:30, where Ginny and Peggy came to greet us. Peggy has gotten so big! Anyways, yesterday I hung out with the family and caught up a little. Today my bags finally arrived. Yeah! And tomorrow, I start work. So yeah, was the trip everything I wanted? Yeah, and more, I really got to be the real Ali again and go back a little bit to how my life used to be, while being so much more aware of life. I have decided to spend the summer in Calgary at Triumph and will make my law school decision within the next month or so. I'm excited to be making money again (definately needed). And hopefully will get a chance to visit with you all in the near future. Thanks for being part of my trip with me, it's been wonderful reading the comments that you have left and can't wait to take you all on my next big adventure.
