Journeying all the way home...

After the 45 mile return journey from Aldwick to Reading, I was fortunate to meet Chek and Kelly (who'd been in London to watch a Westend show) to hitch a ride back home to Ormskirk, Lancashire.



After days of juggling transport from trains to buses to the underground, taking a car ride home was a welcome relief, and once again we were treated to a beautiful August summer's night drive home.



I could never tire of coming home, as Lin Yutang once said, "No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow." Too true.



Adding a further 200 miles to the journey so far, I've now covered
over 4,500 miles since leaving Kansas City, MO on Thursday. Quite a feat...

The only thing better than returning home to a loving father, is a loving father with a bottle of champagne... With my future now secured in the states, and the trip of a lifetime coming up, this was really was cause for a celebration!
