Well well well.. guess who's home?!

Man, I gotta tell ya, being abroad for as long as we were definitely is an experience that we will not soon forget. When we look back its almost like a dream.. we keep asking ourselves, "Were we really there? We seriously travelled all around the world? How did we do that!?"

Being home so far, has been quite an odd experience.. for me anyway. Just being here feels like it's so far away from me.. mentally. Like, the simplest thing like driving my little red truck, watching TV, and even eating food here has been changed forever, and I can't for the life of me understand why that is.. al I know is that its a change for the better, and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that I will never be the same again.. I couldn't even if I tried..

I want to take a quick secong to personally thank everyone who commented and followed along with us on our legendary journey. We honestly felt so good to see people comment and keep up with our travels and tag along with us. It made our trip that much better, and truly kept us safe from feeling lonely. Also helped to know that you all weren't forgetting about us.. because beleive me, we were not forgetting about anyone else!

In the spirit of our trip, we felt that it would be appropriate for both Mia and I to do our own seperate TOP TEN/FIVE LISTS of the best, the worst, the great, and the shi**y.
So without further ado, I'd like to bring on my lists! K, here we go..
