I am waiting for my plane to Toronto. Soon I will be home and my journey will have ended.  

As this is my last entry, I'm going to take the opportunity to reflect back on my trip.  

Can you believe 5 weeks have gone by? I have seen some amazing things over the past several weeks.  From the Tower of Pisa to Michael Angelo's David.  I've traveled from the north of Italy all the way to the south and stopped at several places in between.  Some places more beautiful than others but I realized each has it's own uniqueness.  I visited old friends and made new ones.  I revisited places of years past and family that I thought I'd never see again.  I met new cousins and reconnected with old ones.  

I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve as I write this.  This, was without a doubt, was the best experience of my life.  As tough as it was from the start to leave my routined life,  the bumpy road along the way and how much I've learned about myself and others, I wouldn't change a thing.  

It all comes down to experiences, taking chances and learning something new.  

My advice to you if you want to do something...do it!  Set a goal, stay focused, don't give up, absorb those bumps in the road, learn, live and love your life and great big world we live in!  

What are you waiting for?  If I could do it, I have faith that you can too! 

P.S. I'm home!
