As I sit and catch up on this blog today, I'm still in a bit of a buzz coming down from a big trip like this. It always takes awhile to step back into your regular life and find some reconnection and routine and I fully expect, as always happens, we'll hit a wall and find ourselves needing a lot of naps and early nights in this next week.
Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be going back into the previous entries of this blog, posting more photos and cleaning up some of the hastily created writing from the road so check back for that.
I'll create a new post with the ACTUAL itinerary for this trip because it's quite a departure from the anticipated one I posted prior to leaving.
I'll also make an entry for our gear list which I hope will be helpful to other motorcyclists as other bloggers have been helpful to us in the planning of our trips. It's not that I think we've got it all figured out but we've learned a few things along the way that might be worth documenting. Gear lists are always a challenge so every tip helps!
I want to thank our family and friends for your ongoing support and encouragement and all the people along the way who have helped us out, made good recommendations, gave us encouragement, loaned us stuff, shared your stories and wished us well. One of the things we've become very aware of is that there are so many amazing people out there in this world and doing a trip like this always creates lovely connections with many folks, some fleeting and others more enduring. If for no other reason, this is a very good reason for travelling and we would highly encourage others to do the same, especially in this time of political polarization. Without waxing philosophic too much, we all have much more in common than we do differences and I honestly believe we're all in need of more awareness of this. So get out there, visit some awesome places with open minds, do some cool stuff and meet some great folks. It's incredibly good for the soul. Most especially on a motorbike! ;)
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to be in touch. We're always happy to share information. You can do that by messaging me on my public art page on Facebook: Kathy Lauriente Bonner Art. Or by email (although I don't check this email as often as Facebook) at kathylaurientebonner@gmail.com
Happy Trails...
