HOME!

Well, we've finally made it home - and what a welcoming! We were surprised and delighted to see friends, family and aquaintances at the airport when we arrived! Not to mention the media! I was taken a little off guard having to "air" my story to CBC news just after getting off the plane, but what the hell - it was all worth it!

After leaving the airport we headed to Manuals to pick up our girlies - Molly and Bertha! To be honest, I think I enjoyed that the most - lol! I was wondering if they would have forgotten us - but nope - they knew exactly who we were and where they were going - HOME!

Upon arriving in Carbonear we headed to hospital parking lot to start a motorcade! We ended up at the Carbonear Civic Centre with more media opportunities from The Compass and KIXX FM and a warm welcoming from the Mayor!! All it all, it was a great day! After having a chat with some friends and family at the Centre, we headed to the in-laws for yet another media opportunity - this time NTV news! Thanks to Ed, Bill, and Sherry for great interviews!

Finally we headed home to our house - which I haven't been in since November 13, 2007! We unpacked the van and just relaxed for the evening! Finally we were HOME - after 6 long months!

Now all the fun starts ...
