Well, yesterday was a very long day! I was up at 5:30am English time (after only having 4 hours sleep). We left the house at 6 am - my sister kindly drove me to the airport before she had to go to work. I had to kill 5 and 1/2 hours at Heathrow airport before my flight at 11:30 am. The plane was half empty, so I sat on my own which was cool, as I was too tired to be making conversation with anyone. I was able to read and to have a soak which was cool.
We landed in St.Johns (New Foundland - Canada) at 1:30pm Canadian time (which would've been 5:30pm English time). We had to go through customs there and collect our luggage and then put it back on the belt to go back on the same plane. We left there at 3:30pm Canadian Time (7:30 English Time). We landed in Halifax at 4:10pm. After picking up my luggage, I waited until about 5:30pm for Brandan and Jenn to pick me up and we drove back to Yarmouth (we stopped at Chapters and Starbucks in Dartmouth on the way - that was nice). By the way 'Chapters' is a really cool Canadian bookshop that I really love - but we don't have one in Yarmouth yet! I was so tired in the car and just wanted to sleep. I went straight to bed when I got to the house. It was 10pm Canadian Time (2am English Time).
The girls were really excited to see me this morning. I am really glad to be back home. I never thought I would refer to Canada as 'home' but that is how I feel now - which is really cool I guess.
And guess what!!! Yes. The snow is back!
I really enjoyed my time in England, and I loved catching up with friends. I am still excited about 2006. This is going to be a good year! God is really awesome!
