And we have come full circle. Around the world in 103 days. The beginning of this voyage felt like a dream. Completely unreal. I couldn't believe I was about to embark on such an amazing journey. Somewhere in the middle it began to feel real. More than just real though. It felt normal, like everyday life. But normal people don't do this everyday and I did. But now as it comes to a close it has once again taken on a dream-like quality. Did I really go to all of those places? Meet so many people? Do so many things? Greg said this is the longest dream he has ever had and I agree. Today during a final staff kampai on the pool deck I looked around at all the people who have made this dream so special. I have such unique and wonderful relationships and memories with all of them. I looked at them and realized how lucky I am to have all of them enter my life. I have so many people who care about me and who I care about. It's amazing how much I have learned from all of them. I can't really imagine not having all of them with me every day. It is definitely the people I will miss the most. While I have loved being in ports, we have spent only 25 days in port. The other 80 days have been at sea and what makes that special is the people, the events, the lectures, the conversations.

The dream Ends
And I awake.
