Back in the U.S.A

by on 22. Sep, 2011 in Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, United States

We’re back. Mitch and I still ask ourselves how this trip we planned for so long could be over already. But, we have so many pictures to look at and stories to remember that we will be busy for some time organizing and digesting all those experiences. Our initial re-entry was easy. We flew back […]

Not that the […]

Early on, the first few months, I was caught up in the excitement of being out of the states for the first time in memory. Even Mom and Dad had that feeling […]
