May 4th again....finally home!

Soon after we crossed the International Date Line and we were living May 4th again, we flew over Alaska...lots of snow. 
Then over the Yukon region of Canada..lots of frozen lakes...
then over the Canadian Rockies - really a lot of snow!
Gorgeous!
and then finally on the ground at O'Hare.
Oddly enough we ran into Luann and Sig in
line behind us at Passport Control...they left
before we did...weird...but nice to see them once more!
Then off to Durham and home!

In closing we can't say enough good things about the incredible 6 weeks we've just completed.  The Baird's were wonderful hosts as always and it's always a blessing to spend time with them!  As for China, we couldn't have asked for a better adventure.  The pre-planning was outstanding and Mei, our guide was incredible!  The small group of 10 was the perfect size and the varied personalities meshed together nicely.  There was a lot of laughter and sharing throughout the whole trip.  And we would highly recommend Road Scholar trips to anyone!  Thanks to everyone for a wonderful trip!
