In summary

"Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage." ~Regina Nadelson

We had a great trip.
It's good to be home.
We learned a lot.
We greatly appreciate all the friends and hospitality we encountered in our travels.

You can check out some of the pictures from the trip in the postings below.

It was nice to have done all the research I did ahead of time. It was nice to have the maps and instructions we had ahead of time. It was good to have a compass.

I'll take fewer clothes next time, and a smaller suitcase, and probably not do cities, I'd like to do future trips at a slower pace and w/o a car.

It was great to meet Shannon's friends and family and her new country.

And, we only lost 1 suitcase on the way home, so hopefully it will show up today..............
