Back in San Francisco...

Wow. I had two years of not having a 'home'...but now that I do have a
place, it feels almost as if I never left. So bizarre how that happens!

Of course I have my moments of reminiscing...but I love being around my
great friends on a more-than-regular basis. That said...I still fantasize
about where my next big trip is going to be (the Arctic, anybody?) and think
about the people out there who are lucky enough to keep finding new
places as they travel along while I am sitting on my couch watching an
episode of Seinfeld (but then again...how cool is it to be able to watch
Seinfeld whenever I want?).

To everybody I met along the way - thank you so much for being such a big
part in my being able to learn so much about different people and places in
the world!!!
