The Intrepid Traveler Returns....can I have a few more vacation days???? PLEASE!!!!

I've been home a little over a week and it took a while for my body clock to adjust. And yes, I was waking up at 4:30am/5am/5:30am for about 3 or 4 days. This is one reason I have not jumped into my blog and started writing entries about my trip.

You see, after taking over 1600 digital photos you have to spend time downloading them and then in my case uploading them to the Kodak Gallery while labeling them and deleting the ones that "were not too good". For me the deleting part was a little difficult and in the end I probably only deleted about 100 pictures! So it took me about a week to sort through just the pictures, nevermind trying to compose blog entries from my travel journal....ohhhh, there is only so many hours in a day! Plus 2 little things called Life and Work kind of got in the way of me getting the pictures and blog entries done sooner.

Sooooo, this blog entry is just to say that I am back from an amazing trip and a truly beautiful part of the world. One month may seem like a long time and generally speaking it is, but honestly I really didn't have a burning desire to get back home immediately. In fact, the only real yearning I had by the 4th week of the trip was to sleep in my own bed. I'm a bit spoiled at home with my big king sized bed and while traveling I slept on the tiniest of twin beds...but more about that in later entries.

Suffice it to say I am home, I'm back on "East Coast" time, I'm back at work and life is returning to what it was pre-trip....Let's just say I wish I had a few more days to play, but as I have said before, working helps me take all the great journeys I have been on and I will have to suffer through until the next trip.

But, don't despair, I will be making more blog entries about my trip and posting some of my pictures here.

So, Stay Tuned Folks!
