It’s taken us 84 days to travel to 21 locations (not including nearly a dozen day trips) in 6 countries. We’ve stayed in 23 guest houses/hotels and one boat; used 7 different currencies; taken (and saved) over 2,000 photos/videos; and posted on this blog 66 times (including this time).
Our modes of transportation have included planes, trains, automobiles (cars, vans, buses, and minibuses), a scooter, bicycles, rickshaws, tuk-tuks (various types), boats (long-tail, ferries, a junk, kayaks, and speed-boats), cable-cars, and one elephant. Oh, and a *lot* of walking (I estimate between 250 and 300 hours-worth of being on our feet).
We met up with relatives and made new friends. We’ve eaten local foods, drank local beers, met local people, and tried to experience as much local life as we could.
And it has all added up to one life-changing journey.
In the end – which is hard to believe has arrived – it’s obvious to us that things have changed. It’s impossible to experience so many different things (good and bad) without learning many lessons, some individual and others between us. And while we feel an overwhelming excitement to come home, it is abated by a sense that something very special is coming to an end.
One thing is for sure though – we have never missed our family and friends more. And so, as we sign off for the last time, we want to thank-you all for following along on our travels. It has made not seeing you a lot more bearable, knowing that you have been sharing it with us, even if only in spirit. We’ll see you all soon!
