Thanks, all!! When I started planning the trip this time, it was an amazing experience, more of which I'll talk about in the story-line. The journey fulfilled every expectation I had, and then some.
While I'm broke at the moment from not working for a month, I will never say I regret my decision to give myself the gift of time. I may never have the opportunity to go on such an excursion again, and I'm over the moon at how this one turned out.
Now, off to pack for this weekend's adventure!!
