This fourth dimension in conclusion year, nosotros were busy packing upwardly the house together with counting downward the days until nosotros would start our adventure. As of today, we’ve officially been on the road, living equally vagabonds, nomads, for 357 days. Wow—that sounds together with then long. And at ane time nosotros accept some other count down—for the break of the days nosotros accept left until nosotros supply home.
So the inquiry of the solar daytime is: How produce nosotros feel?
Lying to a greater extent than or less on the beach equally nosotros accept been doing, enjoying the easiness of Sihanoukville, nosotros accept had a flake of fourth dimension to ponder our situation. We honestly had footling expectations of the trip when nosotros started (we didn't truly await it to locomote life changing), other than to promise that we’d come across together with experience a lot of cool stuff, remain inside our target budget together with that nosotros wouldn’t larn ourselves or our kids killed, equally some had feared earlier nosotros left!
So overall, nosotros experience lucky. We experience lucky that we’ve been able to produce this together with accept such a dandy my infirmary stint pose me at the dorsum of the list). And best of all, nosotros ‘re all withal locomote together with unscathed. The kids accept truly grown equally good together with are healthy--imagine that!
But nosotros are also starting to experience a flake tired.
Traveling equally nosotros accept been tin post away locomote tough on most adults, allow lonely families together with the kids. Doing it on a budget is fifty-fifty to a greater extent than challenging non to refer for this length of fourth dimension too. (Most ‘the longest nosotros stayed inward ane lodging was xi nights.

But through it all, our girls were truly incredible. They were amazing!
And nosotros mean value nosotros stayed inside our budget equally good (will produce the terminal break crunching when nosotros larn home).
So nosotros are generally create to locomote going home.
The girls are peculiarly excited close this. Although they’ve truly had some dandy experiences this yesteryear year, likely the best business office for them was only having mom together with dad both at that topographic point to part it with. Other than that, they missed the stability together with predictability of life at home, which is quite natural for kids their age.

And they are create for novel challenges too, similar starting schoolhouse together with mayhap taking lessons inward dancing together with swimming.

And their excitement farther confirms that going habitation at ane time is the correct affair to do. While at that topographic point are enough of things we'll miss close our lifestyle this yesteryear year, at that topographic point is also a lot to expression frontward to at habitation too.
We withal accept a 12hr+ autobus ride dorsum to Bangkok, where nosotros volition pass three nights together with two days. Then nosotros board the offset leg of our supply flying to Melbourne, stopping for some other nighttime on the agency inward Kuala Lumpur. So if all goes smoothly, by this fourth dimension adjacent week, we’ll locomote inward our ain beds dorsum at our ain house. Not long now.
