Final China Trip email

Well, I guess they say all good things must come to an end (who said that 
anyway?) and while I do hate that this journey is ending, I'm excited to come 
back home and see everyone. This is the longest time I've traveled continuously 
and have never traveled this long on my own, but I think it's good to do things 
outside of your comfort zone and the initial part of this was a little wild 
trying to navigate the country on my own, but I would tell you that it's really 
easy once you get the hang of it. I hope many of you will add China to your 
travel bucket list (seriously, I'm not getting a kick back from the People's 
Republic!) and if you ever have questions about wanting to go there, just let me 
know. I am now their official Travel Spokesperson for the USA! LOL. 
 
First and foremost though, I really want to thank all of you that read my emails 
and responded back to me. It really helped me stay "connected" and I enjoyed 
sharing my travel stories with all of you. I hope you enjoyed them as well. I'm 
not sure where my next travels will take me. I originally had planned to go to 
Machu Picchu in Peru in early December but after some research found out it's 
the start of their rainy season so I've put that on hold for now. I'll 
definitely be hanging out at home with friends and family thru at least the end 
of November and then we'll see where my path leads. If I start up another trip, 
I will most likely do another email travelogue so if you'd rather not be on my 
next adventure with me (and seriously, I will not be offended) just let me know 
and I'll drop you from the cast of thousands (it will only cost you $9.99!). 
 
So let me leave you with this little poem/song that I found on the wall at my 
hostel in Lijiang. I guess we each can take away the meaning of it and how it 
relates to our lives but I guess I'd just say whenever you get the chance, slow 
down a bit, don't be afraid to do things outside of your comfort zone, try to 
see the world from a different perspective and most of all... TRAVEL YOUR ASSES 
OFF!!!!! LOL. 
 
Until we meet again... I hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving season. 
Thanks again.
