In San Francisco at last

[Posted on 20 May 2010 by Henry] 2 Comments

My cousin in Singapore reminded me that I am still stuck in Zanzibar according to this blog. Alas. There has been so much to do since we came back that it has been hard to keep up with the writing.

Four continents and 16 countries later, we arrived at San Francisco, our final destination, on March 2, 2010. The finish was as anti-climatic as the start. We touched down at SFO late in the evening, Angela’s brother picked us up, we went to my in-laws’ house, had a light supper, and went to sleep. Nothing ceremonial, no welcome party, just two people trying to come to terms that our vagabond life was over.

Don’t get me wrong. We were ready to come home... As we unbuckled the money belt that we had so faithfully put on each morning during these months, we couldn’t help but to mourn the end of this once-in-a-lifetime trip.
