Touchdown

7-30-10    U.S. air force personnel were transferring through the Flug Hotel in Keflavik. It was good to see guys in uniform defending the country.

   In that hotel I tried to use the internet to update the blog, but the webpage gave an error message saying that I did not have permission to see my own homepage. The night guy at the desk said a kink in the router would not let me visit personal blog pages. I demonstrated that I could visit certain other blog pages but not my own. He said that he had hacked through the router for his own needs but that the hotel day people had deleted his files. We went next door and updated the page from another hotel.

   No problems at the airport. Five hour 15 minute flight from Iceland to JFK. Then a flight from JFK to Charlotte. It began to scare us, because the sun seemed to dim and approach the horizon. Then, for the first time in two weeks, the sky was completely dark. In Iceland during the summer, the sun never really sets. It is light even at night. Here in the airport in Charlotte, NC. we see the darkened sky and know that we are home.

   Glad to be back.
