Pat,

I have been followig from afar. It was a great adventure! You conquered all the obstacles!

From the Egypt trip you brought back a pyramid - do you have some castle ruins now?

Besides the lifetime memories, will this just bring out the travel bug?

Sorry, no ruins but the journal is my greatest souvenir. As for the travel bug, it depends on the money. Now it is time to find a job so I can finance future trips. =)
