Thank you!! I'm really glad so many have found it worthy. I try to keep it real, it definitely wasn't all unicorns & rainbows out there, but it sure was amazing.

Nice, maybe I'm biased, but looks like MT was best part and food.

Really enjoying your posts. Pics are fantastic! You've magically transported me 1,000 miles from the boredom of a work desk.

Exactly that. Maybe I shouldn't be jumping ahead if there's another installment coming, but are you planning another attempt, OP? Curious how long this takes to change some type 3 fun to type 2. Great read in any case, thanks for putting it all together!
