Home and gone
In case you didn’t know, I made it back to the US safely with my blade in tow. Both my flights were delayed so I got in later than planned, but that’s okay. The bus from Oxford to the airport and my plane allowed me to bring my huge oar without charging my extra. Sarah and I wrapped it in many layers of bubble wrap the night before I left. Total it is about 13 feet, I think. It was cut in half, with the slightly larger half right at 80 inches. So I thought I would get charged quite a bit for checking it as luggage, but they allowed it as special baggage, so yay.
I was home for four days, with a third interview with E.ON the morning after I got in. And now I’m in Hawaii, which is 11 hours different from England time. So my body clock is completely off. But we’re having fun with Ian. Went snorkeling yesterday in Kona and then made it back to Ian’s place in Hilo. Not sure what’s on for today, but I’m sure it will be great. Soon I’ll be home for good rather than just a couple days. And hopefully then I’ll get to see people more often rather than mainly communicating by blog.
