Home Sweet Home! I am now once again home in Glossop, back in the UK. The last trip kept me on the road for a little over TWO YEARS! Where did the time go!!? I have to say that I loved every minute of it too (with the possible exception of the 'almost' getting robbed part in Colombia - still, all part of the adventure, eh?).

The majority of the trip took me through areas of Latin America. Spending 1.5 years in South America and then making my way north through Central America to 'The Finish Line.' Plenty of surprises along the way, including visits to Antarctica, Easter Island and The Galapagos, not to mention a side step out of The Americas to Japan, Micronesia and South Korea.

Of course, thats not to say thats the end of any adventure. Theres plenty of new challenges back here at home and hopefully a lot of fun too.

I hope you enjoyed the stories and photos that I posted from this trip. As always, there's a little catching up for me to bring everything up to date. But, until the next trip ...

See You Soon ...
