April 15th, 2007 - 3:30pm - Nouméa, New CaledoniaFrom my window seat on the plane flying into Nouméa, I saw the most spectacular coral reefs in the sea around the islands. Electric turquoise blue with a white lace of waves breaking along the edge. Nothing like anything I've ever seen before!
(Note: I realize this would be a prime place to insert a photograph to demonstrate my point, but that will take longer, so I shall insert it (and others) as soon as I can and in the meantime get the words up for reading!)
(Update: It's now here!)
Walking down the stairway off the plane, the tropical breeze flowed around us and let us know we were somewhere else entirely. And for most of us, it was home! =) Everyone was happy!
Pablo was so happy to be in a warm climate where he could be out of those cumbersome clothes and free to kick his naked legs in glee.
Laurent was so happy to be in a place where everyone speaks French! He was actually beaming as he exchanged pleasantries with the immigration official. =)
Sophie was so happy to be home to her own room and to see her boyfriend Max, who was over to visit within minutes of our arrival.
(She wasn't quite as excited about school starting at 7:10am the next morning!=))
Julie was so happy to be home where she no longer had to serve as tour director (at which, of course, she did a masterful job!)
And I was happy to see another beautiful country and to be able to stay in one place and have time to read! =)
And we were all so happy that we didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn the next morning and pack our lives into our suitcases! It's nice to be home. =)
