Well I came home


so here is part two of the saga. i left Florida on a nice Sunday afternoon. the flight was only 1hr and 15min, which to me was like a hop, skip and a jump. not even a solid sleep....lol i was there in no time. i got through immigration and customs pretty quickly and then when outside to wait on my friend Dougie. he unfortunately had some car trouble, so i ended up waiting for 45 min to an hr. he did eventually come and took me home. my original plan was to call my mom when i was on my way, however, sadly my phone died....lol.. so i ended up just walking into the house and saying hey mom....lol.. her reaction was priceless, i wish i had a video camera. of course you know the question was what are you doing here. i sent my brother out to the car to get my luggage and then i walked into the darkened bedroom where my dad was watching TV.... i turned the lights on and his expression won the gold medal. his eyes were almost out of his head and his mouth was open. it was so good. after the first universal question of this situation, his next question was how come you get to be here. i was like, i am on leave.... it was brillinat.

so there you have it, i have since then gone on a rampage of surprising people. uncles, aunts, cousins, friends. its been really good. lovely to be home... the time is going so quickly, in no time i will be heading out. all went well with the British High Commission, and so i am all set to go to England and Nigeria. will be good times, but like everything else, too short a time.....
