Hello from Hong Kong airport! We are en route home (via Rome and Istanbul and then the Bay Area for a wedding and family visit and theeeeen back to Vancouver) and thought we'd share some fun trip stats with you readers. This was a fun list to compile as is sparked many wonderful memories (and some not so wonderful ones as well). I hope you enjoy gawking at some of the numbers as we have...
In no particular order, over the course of our 5 month trip, here are the number of...
Planes flown: 27
Train rides: 11
Bus rides: 11
Boat rides: 17
Beds slept in: 38
Nights spent not sleeping in a bed: 13
Countries visited: 12
Languages we learned to say "thank you" in: 10
Broken electronics: 1
Photos/videos taken: 10,000+ (sorry, took too long to figure out the exact number)
Books read: 48
Blog posts: 52
Babies born to loved ones: 5
Loved ones seen while on the road: 20
Number of Vancouver friends who moved while we were away: 10

Food poisoning episodes: 8
Use of emergency antibiotics: 2
Highest fever: 103.5F
Hospital visits: 1
Plagues: 10
Continents visited: 5
Cities/towns visited: 67
And so many more stats, we could add to this list until our next trip... Again, thanks for reading, there may be a few more blog post stragglers as we re-enter our Vancouver world, remember more stories, and recount details to anyone who will listen, but until then, only one more 13 hour plane ride before we're back on North American soil!
Signing off for now... S&S
