The End of One Incredible Journey

Cheers to our Incredible Journey

On September 1, 2011, Joanie and I left for Europe.  And on December 4, 2011 we finally returned home.  We did spend three weeks at home during this time, but during these three months, we went on a 10 day cruise in the Western Mediterranean, spent a couple of days in Venice, Italy, and spent another 10 days on a Greek Island cruise.

We then went directly to Florida and spent a week there, going from the south-western tip to the north-eastern coast.  And then, after those three weeks in Boise – we spent the next month traveling the tropics and down under; Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand and finally Tahiti.  And before returning to Boise, we spent 12 days in California, seeing family and friends from San Diego to San Francisco.

We knew we were borrowing from our future to take this trip, but the opportunity presented itself, and it just made sense to take it.  And now that this journey is behind us, we are so incredibly glad we took it!  We have seen a large part of the world and we have made incredible and lasting memories together.  And we feel so fortunate that we were able to take this opportunity and run with it.   Wow!
