I woke pre-Chillian dawn, at a very sedate 8am, and walked in the dark and rain to the nearest Santiago Metro station 10 minutes from my last solo hostel. A short, easy, Metro ride then bus ride to the Santiago Airport and my solo travels were over too!
As I stood in the busy, brightly lit arrivals area of the rport I felt all the joy around me, as these places often excude. I felt excited to be seeing Roni, Kellan and Amaris after these 3 months apart, and smiled as I witnessed the emotional greetings occurring all around me as I waited for my own.
And there they were .... Amaris, Roni, and ... what the? Kellan is now towering a good 3 inches over his mum as they walk side be side; but he was the same height as her when I left?!
Let the hugfest begin!!!
