Non-Kili Adventures

So I've been back for about a week and a half now and have probably told my stories about a million times, plus or minus. The smart move would've been to post this last week and just refer people here...

I'm home!

Tam and I are back in Toronto. Our flight into London from Nairobi was delayed leaving us little time to get through the transfer points, customs, and gate check-in. We literally sprinted through half...
