Peter makes it Home.

The plane trip home didn't go anywhere near according to plan, but the end result was still fine, on the ground, at home, safe and sound, with 57 lbs of luggage. Due to flight delays in Anchorage Peter missed his flight out of Seattle which was probably a good thing because in the process of trying to book an alternate flight to Montreal he was asked for his passport which he didn't have. He applied for one before leaving in September, but the passport didn't arrive till Peter was already in the middle of the Bering Sea. We thought about sending it to him but did not think it would be a big deal since we live only 5 miles from the Canadian border and we have crossed many times without passports. Our post 9/11 World has changed everything and now it is required. He was able to book a flight out of Chicago into Burlington,VT ,which actually worked out better, because it's smaller and closer to home. At about 9:20 pm last night Peter set foot back on Vermont soil (actually carpet,but you know what I mean). We collected his luggage and were on our way home by 9:50. Pulled in the drive at the farm at 11:20 after a memorable 1.5 hour drive which included excellent conversation, some revelations, and the sightings of three separate deer that thankfully stayed on the side of the road! Peter had much to tell, but there were things he could not discuss due to a confidentiality agreement he signed with ADF&G. I have a meeting at the Hospital to get to so will end for now.
