Thanx for coming on this journey with us. It meant a lot to us to get your comments and to know we were gone but not forgotten. It is now time for our next adventure, to burn our backpacks and to shelf our Lonely Planets. If you were unlucky enough to miss one of our blogs (and yes we know who you are!) you can see them all at Travelblog.

Until next time …

Ciao Chicos
