It's March 21, 2006 at exactly 12:12 PM, I sit in the Wildlife Hostel located in Wellington, New Zealand.

I awoke this morning to the sky crying, I can't help but think it's shedding it's tears for me. For today, is the end...the last day of THIS jorney...the last moements of this dream that has come true.

It is a pensive moment...for I am sure that it was just yesterday that I left. Yet if that was to be true, when and how did all this happen to me..how did my dream come true?

I return home with much the same curiousity on the day I left for now the confirmation is real...the world is a beautiful place and the true people of the land fill your heart with warmth, love and humanity.

I sit considering this moment and realize that I have almost crossed the globe, seen the sights of exotic lands, accomplished things I thought to be impossible. I've been touch and I hope to have touched others, I've been open and trusting in ways I never imagined, I've experienced moments that one could only dream off.

It's been a beautiful year and although this leg of the journey may be over...this is Not the End of the journey.
