Well one last blog from the road. We had our closing show today and last load out. It was bittersweat for sure. I am going to miss being on the road, but I am happy about coming home.

I awoke this morning to a strange noise coming from outside at around 8:30am. It sounded like a tractor.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain (Before you get too confused, these beautiful pictures of paradise are from my stop in the islands on my way home back in May.
