Well we made it! We arrived home today and it felt wonderful. The warmth...the moist air...wonderful! With some regret we bid the Blue Beast adieu and love being back in our home.

Our trip was a marvelous challenge. At times we thought it might have been a tad too much for us....then there were those times we marveled at our resolve. We saw places we've only been able to imagine. We got to meet so many great people. We learned you don't always have the good times you dreamed of...you have the good times you make for yourself. Those times are so much better.

Thanks to all those who helped us along the way; and followed us from here to there and back again.

We feel a bit like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz...there's no place like home, there's no place like home.

It was beautiful!
