Yes, it's nice to be home, it's been a long time away from everyone we love and everything we know, and being home for Christmas is lovely. It's great to see everyone again and tell all our stories. When we arrived at the airport there were loads of our family there to welcome us back home and they even had a Welcome Back banner which was brilliant. However, we're itching to get back on a bus or plane or boat and go off somewhere again.
It's so sad about the horrific event that tragically happened to the lovely people of Southeast Asia, people we met will have lost their friends, family members, livelihoods and even lives. Of course it's shocking for everyone who has heard about it, but for it to happen to somewhere we'd just been, it's unimaginable. Every day we hope and pray for all those suffering.
So, was it worth it, some of you may be wondering, did the trip we called the dream live up to all our hopes and expectations? Well, there's no doubt that this trip is the best thing we have ever done. We are still in awe as we look at all our photos and watch our many videos (almost every day) that we really did it, we really did do all those things, see all those different places, travel the world.
Would we do it again? Without a second thought - we just have to pay off the credit cards and loans!!! Watch this space, our travelling days are far from over!
"The Big Trip" is just a taster...
Thanks for following our trip and taking the time to read our adventure stories and if you're thinking about doing something similar, don't think twice... Just go for it!!!
No regrets,
Andy and Jillian x
