Flying Home

Flying Home - a great tune by Lionel Hampton, and music to our ears, too. I think we were all ready to be back home.

Iris was a terrific traveler for the LONG day of crossing the continent: three flights, all of them delayed, then the drive from Lewiston. She managed several 1 to 1.5 hr naps on some flights, and we let her burn off energy in the airports. She especially liked the phones, and watching the planes take off and land. Compared to the flight from China, this was cake!

Iris' Honorary Uncle Antone (a.k.a. Rufus T. Firefly) met us at the airport, and later that week, joined Iris and Daddy on a hike to let Iris become re-acquainted with her home territory by pack and by foot.

A big thanks to Tshering and Sam for house-sitting, and making sure our cats stayed fed and brushed!
