April 20th, I leave home. April 25th I arrive at Summit Camp Greenland. Here it is May 17th and I am less than 24 hours from leaving Summit after completing my 4th work trip. I have seen temperatures from ~ -45 F to ~ -5 F, made some new friends and gotten caught up with old ones. This has been a trip that I will be telling stories about for a while.
I do know that I am ready to come home. The work started out with high hopes and is finishing with a sense of disappointment. I started out looking forward to spending time in the field doing the type of work that I love and now I am tired and looking forward to time off. Looking back over the past month I can see the good times and the bad. I am frustrated that it is ending on such a sour note.
What happens next? The flight is due tomorrow at ~10:45 am local time, so Bag-Drag is at 8:30 am. I will need to set my alarm tonight so that I can get up that early. Once we leave here it is a ~ 2 hour flight back to Kanger and a real bed and a long shower. We will spend Sunday and Monday in Kanger and then have an 8 hour flight back to New York. If everything works the way it is supposed to, I will have 3 hours to grab my bags from the ANG and get to the Albany airport to catch my flights back to Denver. I can't remember when I should be getting back into DIA, but God willing, I should be sleeping in my own bed Tuesday night.
Thanks to everybody that emailed me and I am looking forward to seeing everybody soon.
He is Risen
