I arrived back here in little Siberia, otherwise known as Vermont, at 2.30am this morning! As you can tell by the time, the flight was chaotic. From London to JFK was no problem, Virgin Atlantic was fine, although the stewardesses seem to be a little bossy now - but that seems to be just another sign of what we in England call the "Nanny State" - with everyone telling you what you can and can't do. The Delta check-in at JFK was the worst I have ever seen - positively Fourth World. The plane was due to leave at 8.45pm - it actually left at Midnight. Then I had a horrible drive through the snow to Stowe. It was amusing leaving England in the throes of "Arctic conditions" and "travel chaos" with about two centimetres of snow on the ground! I had a lovely time at home visiting with my family and, even though the weather was cold by English standards, we had some beautiful sunny winter days.

Welcome back to the promised land

I take it they relieved you of the cross-bow?
Hope you're not too jet-lagged.
BTW, did your mum give you that much needed set of skis for Christmas? :-D Snowshoes at least? Mucklucks? An ice saw for fishing in Lake Champlain? A skidoo so you can make sick calls easier?
Welcome Back to our beautiful winter wonderland! I'm glad you had a good trip home. I pray that your spirit is revived and rested and ready for whatever is in store.
