Note:(Go read Genji's farewell and parts one and two below if you haven't)
So in closing, the adventure is out there waiting for you. Thats one of the hardest parts of coming home, getting a job, signing a lease, and settling down; knowing that right now there are millions of incredible people out there going on adventures every day, living life out of a backpack. I feel so lucky and blessed to have taken this opportunity. Book the ticket, take the trip. You wont regret it.
I also owe a lot more thanks than just to Neptune and Poseidon. Thanks to my incredible fiance Jess for your patience, love and support, Eric and Kristin for encouraging me to go even though it meant more work for them, Clay for handling Teramar, Dad for handling everything since the beginning of time, Mom for understandingthe long times between phone calls, AJ and Al for understanding my dream, and Genji for helping me make this thing a reality.

Giving thanks during our flat spell stranded in the banyaks.
South African friends Murray and Craig that showed us around Simeulue.
Late night "taxi" ride to the harbor.
With all that said, its nice to be home. To sleep in the same bed, to take a hot shower, to eat some chips and salsa and be able to talk to my family and friends. We have a lot to be thankful for here, we have it pretty damn good.
So while 2011 winds down, I look for a job and I settle back to reality.
My focus shifts towards the future, and where lifes next adventure will take me.
The road is an addictive place.
This is not the end.
This is the beginning.
