the much delayed post from me

Peace to all those of you who visit my blog still.
It has seen a bit of tranquility over the last few months.
But now here is a post to update things a bit.

I have arrived safely back in Chile (as of three weeks ago about...) but I'm happy and content for all those who care.
The trip back here was long, and tiring, and I think I slept for about a full day when I got back.

Thanks so much to Dawn and Donovan for putting me up for the few hours I was in Miami, I really REALLY appreciated it. heh GBY Don, if you ever see this, getting up at 3:30am to have me at the airport in time, was really a good Samaritan deed for you to do, as well as put up with all my incessant calling throughout the day to see if my computer had actually arrived.

But anyhow, enough with that, I doubt you're ever going to read this post, so on to the more interesting subjects for the rest of you who do read this blog.

Where was I? (such a classic self directed question.)

Oh yes, I got a complimentary international flight from Avianca Airlines. Was quite nice actually, and totally unexpected, as I had only asked if I could rebook my ticket for later on in the day as I was waiting for my computer to arrive.
But the thing was that they were overbooked on both flights, and told me that if I did that, then I'd be put on standby and I probably wouldn't even get to go on the flight at all.
Anyhow, what the sweet guy that helped me out did was ask his supervisor if he could put me on Voluntary status so that if they were overbooked for my flight (which they were) then they would put me confirmed on the next flight, plus give me food vouchers and a voucher for an international roundtrip ticket from the airline.
Groovy eh?
I thought so, plus I was hoping desperately that I'd get my computer that day as well...which unfortunately I didn't.
But anyhow, that said and done, the day went by uneventfully, with me curling up in some corner of the noisy airport to get some much needed rest which I failed to get because of the early wake-up I had.
So instead of spending the whole day in Bogota, Columbia, as previously planned, I spent it in Miami.
No pictures of me at the airport though, so sorry, I was way too tired to be taking any. And there wasn't anything interesting to be taking pictures of...well people...but who really wants their photograph taken at the airport? Really? I mean we all know that when your travelling you don't really look good at all...that is unless its a 2 hour flight and you have a really hot boyfriend/girlfriend waiting for you when you arrive at your destination.
I spent roughly 2 days travelling, I arrived in Santiago at 5am in the morning.
Thanks to Danny for picking me up at another ungodly hour, hah, I really have a lot of people to be thankful for.
You guys rock! really...you do, I'm not just saying it...where would I be without you? With all my overweight luggage and everything, ehh...no not really overweight.
But yes, I've been back for a while now, and the only post that you've gotten from me is one about my new photoblog, which not too many of you visited...well of the people that visit my blog at least.
So thats that, life has gotten pretty much back to usual again, with teaching, and studying, and all the rest of the home life activities and projects.
I'd post a picture...but I just realized that my hard drive isn't plugged in, and theres no extra plug to do so either, so too bad, you'll have to wait for next time.

Oh, and thanks to all of you who kept me in your prayers, I'm sure my travelling experiences would have been quite horrid without them.

Because of you, I've been blessed
