Wrap Up

Arrivals, Brisbane Airport! Always a relief to see a child walk through, back into my arms.

Home at Last

Meg is home! Safe and Happy! It was incredibly hard but incredibly awesome at the same time. Lack of oxygen was more of a problem than the physical challenge. As always, it was wonderful to see her walk through the doors at Arrivals at the airport!

Here's a random selection of fantastic photos.

What??!! All my gear has to fit in that one little red bag…….????

Crazy airport at Lukla! Meg took a video from within the cabin of the departure take-off - everyone clapped and cheered as the wheels left the ground!
