I can't neatly recap a trip like this one, so instead I'll try to put the trip in perspective:
Most of our readers have very good lives (i.e. you're in good health, you're educated enough to read these words, etc). Given that, most have probably not had the opportunity to take a trip like ours. This is a testament to how lucky we are to:
a) have the time to do this trip
b) have the money to do this trip
c) have the parents who raised us, which led us to all work hard most of our lives to get into grad school, which in turn led us to points a, b, and other things we're thankful for...
It's great to step back and think about how much luck and hard work it took just for this trip to come together, let alone for it to have gone so well.
