22 weeks. 8 countries (almost nine if you include our near miss going to Burma). And now, we are finally back home.

We finished our amazing journey with a tour of the West Coast of the United States. We hit several places including Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Santa Monica in Los Angeles. This has definitely been an adventure we will never forget. It will live in our hearts and memories (and this blog!) forever, with the warmest of feelings.

Who knows, maybe there will be a Round-the World Part II someday down the road. Until then, we will close this chapter knowing that we found several Paradises on Earth, befriended and learned from countless wonderful traveling companians from around the world, and learned more than we could have imagined about this amazing place we call Earth. Thanks for sharing this journey with us! Now, back to reality!!
