I did it!!! 11 months on the road and i made it home- practically all in one piece! 13 countries, 18 flights, countless methods of transport, tens of near death experiences-but all worth it! The last few legs of the journey included learning the AirAsia does not give out water for free-i also learnt that drinking water from the bathrooms on planes because you're too stingy to pay for it gives you an upset stomach.... It also included stopping over in Oz to visit...
