Bittersweet

It has been 55 days....

We have been on 9 different planes....
We have toured 16 different places....
We have been to 5 different countries....
We have riden on 7 National Railways....
We have riden on the tube over one hundred times....
We have lived in 1 London flat....
We have stayed in 8 different hotels....
We have visited 5 Castles/Palaces....
We have learned many new things....
We have loved many new places....

It has been the best Honeymoon ever....
It has been a journey of a lifetime....
It has been the best adventure we could have ever asked for....

We are sad to leave....
We are happy to see our family and friends....
We are ready to spend the rest of our lives together....

A few things we have learned...
I don't know where London got the bad reputation of having bad food.... it's amazing!
We LOVE trying and eating international and different cultural foods!
People who think government healthcare is a good thing are crazy! We have experienced it first hand!
I thought that my travel 'ich' would be gone after this summer... but it just makes me want to go back for more!
We are so fortunate in America to have the little things we may take for granted... like dryers!!
We love seeing new cultures, people watching, and doing just what the locals do.

So now... After yesterday's 24 hours of straight traveling back to Orlando...I have just done 8 loads of laundry, put all of our wedding gifts away, and we are settling back into reality.  The olympics are on T.V. and every time I see views of London I get teary-eyed.  Every time I think about how amazing this summer was... I get teary-eyed.  I see some London withdrawals in my future!


It was bittersweet coming home... but we are back!

Can we go back already?... or... at least plan another trip!
