Melancholic? Shucks, maybe?

So, I got some private feedback on my last post. Some say it was melancholic, some say it was down right depressing, some say it was well, down to earth.

I guess its up to the reader to put this into their own context and map to their own experience. Six weeks later what do I feel about this trip? Ultimately is was a great experience. We saw and did things as a family that we would rarely get a chance to do together. As a family we really did live and breath together for 16 days. We did not have those islands to escape in our normal lives, the computers, TVs, work or cookies. We simply just hung out together. In this day and age a very unusually thing.

Do I recommend it? Sure, if you are brave and have a strong constitution. Its not for everyone, its designed for those with a lifetime wonderlust and the restlessness that parenthood brings, or to put it another way the desire or even need to break out of the regular four walls of home. I can sell you a good book and our google map... you know you want to!
