Au Revoir!

     Wow. That went quickly... here we are in our very conveniently located hotel at Heathrow airport, all ready to catch our flight back home tomorrow morning. The train ride here from Cardiff was really easy, although it took a little while due to some delays. But we're all settled in, and are planning on going out to dinner and spending a nice relaxing evening before traveling tomorrow.

    This trip has really been a dream. It was so nice to be able to slow down and take things day to day, without any deadlines or requirements hanging over our heads. I really appreciate the help that family has given us on the trip, hosting us and helping us plan and execute our adventures. Now, I'm looking forward to heading home and to get started prepping for my next adventure in St Louis. I feel pretty ready.

Some words from Michael:
   Today definitely comes with mixed feelings for me, this trip has been so amazing and has gone much better than I could ever have imagined. It also has made me less worried about my time in Cambridge, as I think I have a feel now for how to navigate over here to some degree. I owe so many thanks to both Valerie's family and my own, who without their support none of this would have been possible (or at the very least, the trip would have looked nothing like it did!).

So yeah. I hope that you've enjoyed the blog. I've had a lot of fun keeping it, as it gave me a nice way to collect my thoughts after each adventure, and now all my pictures are nicely organized.

Cheers!
      Valerie and Michael
