He is Home...

My favorite person has been on the other side of the Earth for a whole week and tonight he is home and safely tucked into bed and sleeping.  Aaaaaaahhhhhhh.  I can breath again.  My dear husband has been to India and back.  His work took him to Chennai India, formerly Madras.  It's on the South Eastern coast of India.
 
It takes 24 hours of travel to get from here to there.  Now days, a person can track any flight in real time on the internet.  Kinda cool except... the website I used can't track the plane over Greenland or most of the Atlantic.  Also, it tracks speed and altitude and I nearly freaked out on his way over there because somewhere over Canada his plane descended a thousand feet and waaayyy too fast for my comfort zone.  So, as he made his way home I checked the flight status very little... for my own sanity.  
When he called around noon today I answered the phone and said "Welcome home honey!"  He replied and said "I'm in Calgary.  I thought I better call you and let you know we've been diverted due to electrical problems and I thought you would be worried when you saw the plane descend over Canada."
Isn't he the sweetest!  Thankfully I wasn't watching the computer and tracking the flight at that time.  I might have had a stroke.  All in all, he was only about 5 hours late getting home.  I plan to share some of the pictures he took and items he brought home over the next few days.  Oh and one more bit of info, he got a big hug from me for checking my blog in India and giving my stats 10 hits from India.  Yay! 

Here he is sight seeing.

Here the boys are running to greet the Airporter shuttle.

It was late so they are in pajamas.

So happy to have you home Papa.
