Heading Home

Well, my time in Australia has come to an end. It has all been so much more amazing than I imagined it would be. I am really going to miss being so close to the beach, living with people from 3 different continents, but most importantly I will miss all of the wonderful friends that I've made here.

I'm not looking forward to the next 24 hours, which is pretty much exactly how long I will be traveling to get back to Indiana. After that though, it will be nice to be back home with family and friends from home close by...and even though they are playing so terribly this year, I'll be happy to get to some Reds games in the near future. Maybe they can put something together over the next few months with me back in town. It'll be nice to enjoy some warm weather as well!

And it's never too early to look ahead to where my next travels may take me. A potential trip to Germany in two years is on the horizon, then maybe I'll take advantage of a couple of invitations to Brazil and relatively soon I will definitely be back in Australia.

I can't say enough about how much I have enjoyed the past five and a half months in Australia. It has been, by far, the most enjoyable experience of my life.
