Well, we're back in the states, in our hometown of Houston, TX. We live in the back apartment on our property until we get settled, and are quite comfortable enjoying all the things we missed while we were away, like family & friends, the great food, the mild weather, the relaxing vibe & friendly people. Getting to see all our favorite teams all the time doesn't hurt, either!
We would like to say thanks to everyone for their wedding & travel support and sending us emails & blog comments. Special thanks to our parents for doing all the dirty work, like wedding/reception coordination, gift transport, mail collection, personal errands, and temporary slumlord duties. We couldn't have done it without your help! And we hope we didn't offend anyone in the blog- if you know us, you know that although we like to poke fun at all the oddities & ironies of life, we would never do it maliciously.
We have gone from getting married (finally!) in January, to going around the world and wearing the same 4 shirts for 5 months. And most of that time did not include the luxury of washing machines or soap. Now Jason wears starched shirts & slacks to work, but JJ still uses her bicycle to run our neighborhood errands while looking for the right job to make her happy. Someone smart once said, "The grass is always greener on the other side." Well, we were "on the other side" for so long, that this Texas grass is looking pretty darn green at the moment!
There is no way we could properly summarize our experiences this year. But let's just say that in our experience, although every country and people we visited are very different, in many ways we are all very much alike.
J3 2005 Transportation log: 32 planes, 4 trains, 46 boats, 21 buses, 5 feniculars, 1 hot air balloon, 1 horse and buggy, 1 Jandarma (Turkish police jeep - yikes!), 3 off road 4x4 vehicles, 4 camel rides, 4 rented cars, 6 scooters (3 each), 1 golf cart (not used for golf), 1 richshaw, 1 gondola, 2 hanging pulleys (1 each), 1 boogie board, 2 helicopters, 1 white water raft, 2 parachutes (1 each), 1 campervan, 2 bicycles. This does not include friends' cars, city and tour buses, subways, taxis, and escalators (1 notable - the longest in the world in Hong Kong).
And remember our favorite quote of all- "It's not the destination, it's the journey!"
