HOME !!!

Kanata, Canada
All I wanted to do today was to get home. I left my Dad's place just before lunch and arrived home at six thirty pm.
I took Highway 401 east to Toronto, then the toll highway number 407 around Toronto, then back onto Highway 401 to Highway 416 north to Ottawa .
It is a completely boring road with people travelling at excessive speeds, but it is the fastest way to get from London to Ottawa.
It is so nice to be at home, to hug my wife, see the house, sleep in my own bed, be surrounded by familiar things and to know that I will be here for more than a night or two.
I'll wrap up the trip tomorrow with my observations, lows, and highs

Welcome Home!
Glad to see you're home safely. You've had quite a trip. Too bad you had so much rain and cold weather.

We'll be back at Carleton Place on Monday and I'm planning to go in to the office sometime in the next month or so. Do you have any plans to go in or have you had enough of the place?

Congratulations
Well done John. That was an incredible trip. Your daily journal entries were great, and I am sure there were many, like me, who followed you every step of the way. Welcome home indeed. Bill.
