Homeward bound

So that's it - we're now at the airport waiting to board our plane, at the end of our 81 days around the world. This morning, we packed; we lunched at the hotel by the pool; we Uber-ed to the airport; and now, apart from a (hopefully easy) overnight flight, it is all over.

It's been an epic, once-in-a-lifetime trip. We've seen amazing places, met great people, and thoroughly enjoyed adventuring as a family. Yes, I packed too much. Yes, we ate and drank too much. But it has been a wonderful, amazing, brilliant experience; and Jemima has been fantastic: adaptable and enthusiastic, embracing all the excitement (as well as quite a few small children).  Hurrah for Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, Rarotonga, and Los Angeles. (Australia, you were our favourite...) Thank you very much to Kevin and Jemima for making it possible, and for making it so much fun.

Of course, we are all looking forward to going home too: family, friends, Rocky the dog, our house, springtime in England, and the return to normal life (and playschool!). Going away is great, but - thankfully - coming home is great too.

If anyone has travelled with us on our trip via this blog, I hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have. Until next time!

PS I am aware of the absence of posts over the last week or so - no wifi in Rarotonga and then very busy in LA. But I am planning to get up-to-date while waiting in the airport/ on the plane, so hopefully previous days will appear shortly...
