I'm almost home! This was the 2nd longest trip I've ever taken. It has been a GRREAT trip full of learning, doing, connecting and reconnecting.

Since there's so much to blog about, and my mind can't crunch everything down to a "bloggable level." I'll summarize this trip in the most impersonal way I can.

Away for 92 days

    Visited 9 cities

Slept 37 nights on beds, 49 nights on sofas, and 5 nights on sofa beds (which are a category on their own because of their unique discomfort)

    Drove over 2000 miles, for an estimated 50 hours in the car

        Rented 4 cars, borrowed 3 cars

            Took 11 plane rides and 4 bus rides

Now that I look at it this way, it doesn't seem that long anymore. I mean, it sure felt longer than it looks. I guess numbers have a way of doing that, cutting through feelings and bringing us back to reality. So the most significant numbers to me right now are:
   
5 days
2 plane rides
5711 miles to go


P.S. My friend, Mel Chan, is looking for 2 more flatmates for an inexpensive place at the Ortigas area. Click here to see the details.
