Over 14 hours east of SeaTac area, haven't checked how many more to go to reach our final staging area for the trip back south. This trip didn't go as desired in some respects (we've crossed Kansas side to side four times so far), haven't managed to visit everyone we wanted to visit, but over all it's been a good trip. It's hard to imagine that in less than two weeks we'll be speaking mainly Spanish again and starting to get back in the "normal" swing of things. For the many of you we didn't manage to visit this time, hope to be able to do so next time! In the meanwhile, the coffee's on and a spare room waiting for anyone who'd like to visit the land between the Canal and the Equator... after all, it's the same distance down as it is up!
