I made it back to school safely, dealt with a few computer problems, unpacked my small bag and left my bags for the Desert aside. It is so weird knowing that tomorrow I leave and will be away from my "other family" for a month. 
I've missed these girls for 2 and a half weeks and now add at least 3 more on to the tally. It almost hurts more to see them knowing that I will be missing them again in just a few hours.
So here's how the trip is shaping up:
