Photo title: Welcome Home
St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.
Update: I, the prodigal wanderer, have indeed returned to my Colorado home after what felt like months, but what was actually only 11 days in the Caribbean sun. While this is not the flower that welcomed me home to my little bungalow – that was 23 beautiful yellow roses – this was one of the flowers that greeted me on my first morning in St. Thomas after the first long day of travel. I’ve never seen one like this before. Even though there is much work/life catching up to do, I hope to share travel tales and new pictures with you all in the coming weeks, doing my little bit to stave off the chill of winter.

Daily gratitudes:
Sabbaticals that seem far longer than they are
Having someone love me enough to pick me up at the airport
The existence of warm, sunny, tropical places
Being back in my own bed
A most excellent tan

Thanks (not for the jealous part though)! I have my jealous moments of you too, TBM. Africa, England…

Colorado is a pretty cool place to live. I miss the mountains!

Thanks, slp – they say snow and 40 mph winds tomorrow here. I will feel like the little match girl.

Catching up is an easy price to pay for your gettaway. I’ll bet your ride from the airport was a happy one. 🙂
Thank you for wandering and sharing for all of us wannabe wanderers.

It was indeed a happy one, waywardbound. I encourage all wanderers to find their wings.
