Home Again

We boarded our Southwest Airline flight shortly before noon.  It was a quick flight to Kansas City where Dwayne and Carla bid Brian and Janet farewell.  They continued on to Baltimore.  So, here ends our 10 week journey around the world.  It was a wonderful ride and we have definitely been busy, out and about exploring our wonderful world.  Amazingly, the weather was almost perfect and did not disrupt any of our plans.  The few times it rained, we were sleeping, traveling or endured the few drops that fell on us without much inconvenience.  There was no lost luggage or items stolen from us along the way.  We never went hungry or lacked a decent place to sleep.  We were well prepared and very lucky to have avoided any major setbacks.  It was a great learning experience and a once in lifetime event.  We will continue our travels; however, at a slower pace and not cover over 40,000 miles in a continuous journey.  Here are some highlights of our grand adventure.
