Just wanted to drop a quick note saying that we’re home. We decided that it was time to come back to real life and look for jobs, and got back on Friday evening, just over 1 month after leaving.
We had a great time, and I obviously stopped writing up the trip here, and perhaps I’ll try and post more later. There are pics on Flickr for those who are interested.
Stats for the trip: 5900 miles on the dot and according to the truck’s trip computer, we averaged 10.2 MPG for the whole trip. We managed to hit all the Swine Flu hotspots, but seem to have dodged the flu itself. (I did feel a bit flu-ey one day, but was feeling better pretty quickly, so it must not have been the bad stuff.)
I managed to re-injure my old knee injury by twisting on it wrong and dislocating it. I set it on the spot, took Advil and iced it and it’s getting better much faster than when I did it many moons ago in karate. Must be getting old…. ;)
