Final leg

October 8th - 4:45pm, somewhere over the Midwest
I'm on the last leg of my trip in the air somewhere over the Midwest. I had a ten hour layover at JFK today... got on my flight at 4pm, easy coast time, and have been in the air now for a little over an hour. It's strange that I look back on the last two weeks and it went so quick, and now feels so distant. I had a wonderf time and an adventure that will last in my memories for the rest of my life. I took so many images and I guess this is one thing that slowed me down in terms of getting more in. I've been talking with people on the phone today and really my only regreat is not getting in more. When you travel alone though I think it becomes more dificult to navigate through things. I set everything up myself and had a lot of trials. Some days were challanging and as I told a friend there were a couple days where I just didn't want to go out and explore but I pushed myself and worked through fears, difficulties, and some deep lonlyness. There was one point where I encountered a bus that could have ended very badly but with all that you push yourself and you move forward and continue to experience life.

The trip was rewarding to say the least. I fulfilled childhood dreams and really what more could you ask for. The opportunity to see things that you dreamed of and the chance to touch and walk on ground that holds so much history was amazing. I would do it all again and I hope to one day go back and see and experiance more. I've been to Egypt.
