Well, it has been a fun journey. I have to give my wife, Hilary a lot of credit. She knows how to plan a trip! If it wasn’t for her, I would never have seen as much of the world as I have seen by the age of 25.
This trip has been a trip of contrasts. We’ve gone from the city of Sydney to the seclusion of the Outback and to the resorts of Green Island in Cairns. We went snorkeling one day and hiked through a sacred Aboriginal site the next. We’ve slept in beds ranging from “California King” to “bunk” and have eaten hamburgers and kangaroo. Part of seeing just how special something is, is seeing its opposite. It’s what makes the change of the seasons so enjoyable for me, as well.We’ve met so many people and had many experienced guides showing us the sites. Folks like Ben and “Cookie” and Shimi & Craig and Richard will not be easily forgotten.
This has been a fun final world trip, and I’m glad we’ve done so much with the time we’ve had so far.
