Merrill Newman, 85, the U.S. tourist and war veteran who was detained in North Korea for more than a month, was on his way home to California Saturday after the nation deported him.
"I feel good," Newman told reporters at the Beijing airport, adding with a laugh that the first thing he planned to do was "go home and see my wife."
"I am very glad to be on my way home," said Newman, who was held after he returned to the North six decades after his stint advising South Korean guerrillas still loathed by Pyongyang.
