After 3 days of delay we finally made it home! After a restful night at the Nova Hotel we went to the airport to check our bags, then walked to town to look at some stores. We went to a soapstone shop that had thousands of carvings available, ranging in price from $30 - over $10 000. Those who purchased things generally bought at the lower end of the range.
Our flight left without incident, and the ride home was smooth. Upon arriving at the airport we had one last group hug, then went to the baggage claim area where we were met by family and friends to head home.
Despite the 3 day delay in getting home, all were thrilled with the trip. Great friendships have been formed, and the experience was better than could have ever been learned from a book. We now look forward to the arrival of the Qikiqtarjuaq gang on Tuesday. That is, if they can get a plane to land.
