Yesterday, July 27, I set foot on US soil.
I'm still not home, but at least I'm in the right country now. The whole experience of coming "home" has been surreal and I don't think it's really hit me that the trip, this amazing adventure, is essentially over. Maybe because I'm in NYC and am still playing the role of traveler, I just happen to be much closer to home than previously. Maybe it's simply because the last five months is such a part of my life that the experience will forever be with me and it's not a matter of the adventure ending, rather just continuing on to a different stage.
I've decided that the last part of my journey, the homeward bound section, will be via Greyhound bus. Before I left, I would have been appalled at the idea of taking the Greyhound bus... it's what all the crazies and druggies take. However, after having traveled in some of the places I've been, it should be a cakewalk! I also think it's fitting for the end of my journey... I've never really seen the whole country. This will be a nice way to take in the sights of the middle part of the US while also getting myself home in the cheapest manner possible!
It's good to be "home".... I'm looking forward to being home!
