The mixed emotions of going home. Reflecting on where we've been and what we've done. My very best versus Sandy's very best.

The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. What the hell, let's just throw the budget completely out of the window. Got to have the right attire for the restaurant in the sky. A chauffeur driven Rolls Royce to the airport.

Living like royalty is the only way to finish our trip. Our seven-star experience starts from before we reach the front door. Our two story suite is on the sixteenth floor (or thirty second, whichever way you look at it). Our room is bigger than any house I've lived in. Oh, and we have a butler too.

Where's my bloody breakfast. Yes, I too am a human being with human failings but a long awaited book can cheer anyone us. Going wild at Wild Wadi. negotiation pays off from time to time.
