So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

Our recent trip to Port Douglas and the Great Barrier Reef reminded us of our own state of Hawaii (minus the killer box jellyfish and crocodiles.) It has also demonstrated how difficult it is to post blogs and pictures in rural areas, and how transient we've become since we left our boat. A few days ago we drove to a Target parking lot on the way to the airport so we could get an internet connection. I love the irony in our being able to post hundreds of miles at sea (with our radio and Pactor modem which we no longer have with us) and yet on land we are hit or miss.
In order to focus on the kids and our rapidly dwindling overland tour time, we are signing off our blog for now. Deepest thanks to all who've been following along, patiently enduring our raves and our rants. You have all provided a tremendous amount of moral support in this endeavor and we've always been excited to read the latest comments.
What have we learned? It would take months to write a blog post about that. Pondering that question is one of the everlasting and most valuable gifts of this journey.
Thank you again for caring about us and our incredible 7 months on the Jenny P.
