I went home on leave early in December. It was great! Man, I love AZ.

Alrighty, here's the deal. It's crunch time, Saturday night. I head out to th airport in about 6 hours. Then it's 13 wonderful hours of planes, then finally at about 0200 my time (1830 AZ time) I'm gonna be getting off the plane in Phoenix. I am so pumped I can't contain myself. Just imagine the hikes, the family, the Americanness, and the sunlight! WooooHoooo! 12 fun-filled days of non-England-ness! Trust me, you miss some things living over here. Like shopping malls, and good Mexican food, shops staying open after 1730, the sun.
Here's my WooHoo picture:
