Our Days of Roamin' end in Rome

What a fabulous ride!
When you set out to see the world, you don't mess around! So glad you really enjoyed walking on those old Roman roads and soaking in the history on this last stop--love the Pantheon and its oculus. Must say the crowds look formidable, but you handled them like the Jedi and shopping/church maven that you two are (how fab to have a handbag from Rome!). I'm going to miss your musings and photos--it's been lovely traveling with you and your wicked sense of humor. And how very wise to have some kickback days before entering the daze of unreal life again. Thanks for the wild ride!

What an epic journey!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the rest of us.

A lot happy, but a little sad too... Day 284!
I read this blog with a small cloud of 'impending ending' over my head, but I'm so happy that you had such fabulous travels (hope Phuket wasn't too feral). Thanks heaps for the humour, honesty and depth of information you shared with us on this trip. Hope everything is ok with the families at home, and that your re-entry into reality is gentle. As I've said before, if you guys are ever down this way, let us know and we'll make a list of churches for Scott to visit (the longest continuously running catholic church in Australia is only 20mins from our place!) :) Take care guys, and welcome back home xx

Here's to a fantastic journey!
Can't believe it's your last blog of this journey already! Absolutely amazed that you were so up to date with posting all the blogs! Lots to learn still... Thanks for taking me along and sharing all the tips and info... Loved your honesty and fantastic sense of humour as well! Really enjoyed reading your blogs. And what a great place to finish your journey! I went to Rome in high school with a school trip - Vatican, including the mass with Emperor Penguin Nr 1 - I'm Polish after all, 20 or so churches and all the 'attractions' in two days... think I might need to go again! Now at least I'll have all the info that I need, thanks for sharing! And welcome back home :)

Rome provides a great ending to any adventure
It takes weeks to absorb all you've seen and done. Time to reflect is around the corner. One morning you'll be up and it will cross your mind that you need to begin planning the next adventure. So many amazing things have happen over the past months. You've certainly inspired us to want to get back out there. Although I must admit we are not sure we want to do the really long trips anymore. We will see what the future holds. We are finding that we enjoy the 2 to 3 month trips best. Rome has so much to offer you could stay for a long time and only scratch the surface. Glad you had some new shoes and haven't fallen down any steps lately or had any other illnesses. Thank you for allowing us to follow along. We enjoyed it immensely.
