Am I really in Vancouver??

I had no nose pressed up against the glass of the window as we approached Vancouver, I could not believe that I was seeing the Vancouver skyline against the mountains. After 2 years, I was finally coming home for good....well, not quite for good but for a while at least. Even at this point I am not 100% sure I am in Vancouver. I think it is a cumulation of Jet lag and disbelief that I am not in Japan. At any moment it seems like I am going to wake up from this dream and be in my apartment in Japan.

I cannot express what kind of feelings are going through my head. It is this mixed bag of being happy I am home and also of missing Japan and my kids, along with missing Nepal and the kind people I have met there. Once again, I cannot express how wonderful and attached I am to Nepal. It is definately some where to go back to. In fact, I am even now plotting about a trip next spring to Japan and Nepal. We'll see what happens.

At this point I am just going to relax and spend time with my family and friends and take it easy. Sleep is one of my first priorities.....
