Our trip has come to an end. We spent the last 48 hours traveling from Koh Lanta to Krabi to Bangkok to Tokyo and finally San Francisco. Cold, exhausted, and unsure of what to do next – deal with a box of unopened mail, look for jobs, sleep for days. I can’t say it is all bad though. Seeing our dogs again was a moment I’ve longed for since we left the country. I could cuddle with them watching nonsense TV and academy screeners in this California king bed forever. Unfortunately, the real world waits and my bank account dwindles.

I still have so much of our trip to blog about – Myanmar, Malaysia, the Thai Islands – and now that we are back I have nothing but time. But first things first, we must find jobs to replenish our bank accounts and support our travel addiction.
