Six and a half months, 292 days since we were last in our own beds. Georgina and Larry pick us up at the airport, and Benny and Sandy are there as well as there flight from Toronto was delayed and they arrived at the same time as us. We get back to Larry and Georgina's for a short sleep before we drive to Carman. However, getting to sleep after a long flight is not that easy. At 3:00 am in Winnipeg, our internal clocks are still 5:00 pm in Tokyo. We eventually fall asleep but are up at 10 for a great breakfast and some visiting.On the way out of Winnipeg, we do a quick stop at Soby's for some groceries and home. The house looks great, and except for some dead bugs, is very clean and undusty. I guess it is true, dust is dead skin, and with no bodies in the house - no dust. After sorting mail, and the boys getting a feel for the neighborhood, we go to sleep. More accurately, we lie in bed for the night. I fell a sleep at 10:30 pm, was up at midnight, and then lay awake waiting for 5:00 am, my determined time. Cindy and I got out of bed at 4:45 am as 5 became to far away.
