the Return Home.

Well i could have told you what i did on the 10 but i just thought i would cruise around London well Oxford street. and see if i could  spend some more money. well of course i can.  ended up buying 2 tops i think and headed back to the hostel  to pack .
 the hostel I was staying at was OK , rather large with 800  beds  so somewhat impersonal.  after the wonderful small one in Nottingham  it was a change. Hostels are definitely meant for people younger than me.  But I get lonely sometimes staying in hotels and even  B& B's  and they are way more pricey.
 Flight left at 11 am on the 11th it was an empty plane . their were 45 of us on a 200 seat plane. I had  3 seats to my self.  took a small nap.  pulled into Cincinnati and cleared customs in 15 minutes flat . ( its a small airport) through to Seattle and had 3 hours to fill in  and jet lag set in.  but the exciting thing was that form Seattle to Fairbanks i again had 3 seats to myself. i slept almost all the way to Fairbanks getting in a 12 30 am. yes that's 22 1/2 hours of travel from departure to landing..
 but i was awake at 5 30 on Thursday so went to work. (But i left early )
 here ends my vacation/ holiday. not sure what will happen next. there is lots of stuff happening in town coming up.  so back to the boring stuff of Fairbanks.  the sun is shining and its almost warm the last couple of days.
 i hope to get some more photos around for the last few entries.
