Home again.
Its time again to come home and spend some time with my family.My Dad, of course, is very sick and I decided at the last minute to take Ursula with me, as she is at the age now where she will have an indelible memory of my Father.
Someone once said that there are two ways travel... "first class, or with kids!" but Ursula is the greatest companion for a pan-planetary journey you could wish for. Every minute is wonder, and she brightens any grey and jaded view of air travel with wowed enthusiasm. She spent the last several thousand miles of the journey sleeping like a cat on my lap to arrive bright and sparkling, and got me through baggage and customs with jokes and questions, putting my mind in the right space for this emotional trip.
Here is captain Johnstone at the controls of a 777.
