And so after 10,000 miles by car, 8 Flights, 5 Trains, 3 buses, countless subway systems, seemingly endless Econo Lodges, couches, spare beds, pullouts and the occasional hard wood floor for good measure the journey is over.

From East to West back again and all in between we’ve seen pretty much as much as physically possible with the time afforded to us by the good ole US government. As I write this we’re actually over the Atlantic maybe an hour or so from Dublin however by the time you read it I’ll likely be in the airport or back home in Alba in the clutches of jet lag.

As much as I hate to follow the clichéd path of describing this trip as the “incredible adventure that we’ll never forget” I’m helpless to resist! This really was one of those trips and we really won’t forget it! Haha! And while I’ve read travel blog’s and stories with similar cringe worthy summarisations like that of a bad movie I cant help but smile to myself as I follow suit.

I guess I view those endings with a different mind now though, a mind that forgives the childlike eagerness of the writer as they try to convey their euphoria of their experiences.

“All that noise all that sound, all these places I have found”
