Our journey is over and we are all home! Back to reality, back to life!
Today we booted it home making a stop at a Crackle Barrel for brunch and 2 gas stops.
We said our goodbyes to Al and Pat at our last gas stop on the 400 as we cut off at Bradford to see Kelli and Farmer. It felt very strange and sad to watch them pass us as they headed home. I have missed Kelli and Farmer soooo much!!! Of course I missed Gizzy and Ivy also, but they really didn’t seem to even notice I was back!!! Not like a dog that would be all over their owner when they had been left for 5 weeks!! We visited with Kelli and Farmer for an hour or so and got home around 6:30pm. I have also missed Sarah very very much and will get to be with her in 4 days when she comes home for 5 days for our nieces wedding!! Everything at the house was good, however a neighbour thought she saw someone trying to climb over our pool fence around 3am one morning and called the police. To make a long story short, everything was fine. Nothing broken into or missing etc. Our other neighbour had the key to the house and was collecting our mail etc. We have great neighbours!!! So, our journey that we planned for 3 years has come to an end. We have awesome memories that we will talk about for years to come. Other than wishing the weather was a bit warmer and drying at times in Alaska, there is not one thing I would have changed about this trip. We have photos that are out of this world and I can hardly wait to get some printed!!! We will soon be having a “post trip dinner” which I have offered to host. These are great to reminisce and Andrea makes a DVD with our pictures to music after our trips. We always look forward to this!!! A perfect way to remember our journey!! In total we travelled approx 17,000kms (10563 miles)! We need some work done on the bike post trip, but it was all so worth it!!
I have had a fun time doing the blog and hope everyone has enjoyed a trip to Alaska through our eyes. It was a trip of a life time and hope everyone will remember to always “Do What You Dream” !!
