Thank you, thank you, thank you all! It's been a joy to write about this trip - I've always dreamed of travel writing and I've never brought myself to actually do it. I second guess myself too much and think I'm being a cheeseball in whatever I've started before. So I really appreciate the positive feedback and support.

My husband has come down with the flu and I'm crossing my fingers I don't catch it was well - either way, I'll try to start the next installment tonight.
