Packing this time around was a lot quicker than before.  Not only do I know what to expect, but I’m not dealing with leftover odds and ends from packing up a whole apartment.  Leaving isn’t so sad either.  I know we’ll be back early next year, and I have had such a great time these last six weeks being able to hang out with so many friends and family.  A really great time.  These six weeks have been exactly what I had hoped they would be.  Now I’m ready to hit the road again, but I’m glad to come back to a place like Cheers, where everybody knows my name.

And the cereal!

I will never take a box of cereal and [soy] milk in the fridge for granted again.

Special thanks…

To our parents for taking such good care of us: feeding us cookies and cereal, giving us a place to stay, letting us borrow the car, supplying cigars, listening to us and looking at all those pictures.
