Homebound

We had a great relaxing stay in Kennebunkport, ME. Maine is one of the most beautiful states I have ever seen. The mixture of amazing mountains and coastline is something that everyone should see at some point in their life. Not to mention I had a lobster every single day. Can't beat it!

The final destination on our trip is Boston, MA. Our good friend Brian Maples is attending Tufts Univeristy and was nice enough to allow us to stay at his place. Since we were only in Boston for a day, we figured a trolley tour would be the best way to get around Boston. Also since after the end of our journey, Kristen and I really try to avoid walking anywhere.

We caught a taxi to South Station in Boston for our train back to Jacksonville this morning. Kristen and I have always wanted to take a long train ride. The trip from Boston to Jacksonville is about 24 hours. The accomodations are pretty good on the train and after being on the trail for six months, we can handle pretty much anything. There is a lot of leg room, power outlets next to our seat, a cafe to get drinks, and a lounge that takes reservations for dinner.

We are ready to come home. Believe it or not, we will get home six months to the day from when we started our journey. Some of our friends on the trail were busy planning their next adventures after finishing the trail. Not us. We are really to get back to a more normal way of life. More on this in our closing thoughts.
