Back to reality!
« on: April 23, 2008, 04:39:08 AM »
Just a quickie to say a massive thanks to Annette, Mike, Jerry and Mikey for treating me to such a lovely day out in LA.  It really was one of the highlights of my trip :).

I got home yesterday and am now making my way through massive piles of washing >:(.  Can't wait to get stuck into the garden again!!!

Welcome home and back to the forum. I followed your trip to some extent in the blog and can't imagine being gone so long. Also can't imagine the sights you have seen. What a trip of a lifetime!!! Glad you had a chance to do it.

Kaz, welcome back. Like Esther, I also periodically kept up on your trip (thanks to the reminders from Mikey). I was impressed by all the opportunities presented by the ship. Classes, speakers, seminars- in addition to all the places visited, it must have been a fantastic learning experience.

Hey, Welcome back home, Kaz!  Glad you made it through your adventure in one piece!  Must have been quite the Welcome Home bash your family and friends threw for you.

Very happy you're back home here  o(:-)

Welcome back home & back here, I also enjoyed your blog a time or two. Your trip sounded...fun. I am not sure I would be happy being away from home that long. Hope you had a wonderful time & made lots of new friends. o(

Ta - Da! Welcome home. We'll give you a few days to find your land legs, then some essys on impressions etc.

I have had more than one person try to trade me for my Queen Victoria T shirt, but "I am sorry, you had to know someone on the maiden voyage"

Cheers,

Mike

Yes, welcome back indeed.  Must be nice to see family again.  108 days is a long time to be away from family.
