Good Ol' Canada
Back at home at last... after 30 hours of travel and a most delightful 13 hour sleep last night, things seem back to the way they were when I left home 5 months ago; snow on the Rockies when I left, snow on the Rockies on the way back.
5 months!!! It shits me to think I was gone for so long! I kept busy today sorting through my hoards of mail which made me feel marginally important and wanted, although annoyed when I was unpleasantly reminded that you still receive bills even when you're away...at least I've got some fun XC mag reading to catch up on!
Well, my OZ experience is over, and who knows when I'll be back. I think Australia is an awesome place to fly and every pilot who can should try to get out there. Consistent conditions and a beautiful landscape make Bright especially enticing. Lots of positive memories of Mystic.
On other fronts, well, there's no place like home. After being away for so long you quickly realize how much your friends and family mean to you and how being away can be hard. Good relationships take time to develop and the difference between a general acquaintance and somebody you care about was quite apparent for me in OZ. But hey, life is full of lessons, and I've learned plenty this year.
My second last flight from Mystic was a really nice one; flying next to Mt.Buffalo was awesome and is right up there on my list of favourite flights. Besides being one of my goals before I left, flying Buffalo was just really pleasant. I miss paragliding already.
