Hey friends…glad to report I am back home safely!
6 days in the desert air with family had much of the desired effect. I am feeling better than I was one week ago tonight as I was seriously concerned about my ability to get on an airplane. It seems pretty clear that a lot of the problem was a virus that has largely relented. Not only were the airport and flight back not at all daunting today, I walked well over a mile in the sunshine yesterday.
I am presently a bit worse for the wear post flight, but feeling optimistic that I am going to be able to do some more traveling this year. I want to sincerely thank everyone for their concern and well wishes…it was a big help.
