Completed the Great Loop

August 16th, 2005

Tuesday, August 16th – Jacksonville, FL
Exactly 15 weeks ago today, we left home. What an adventure! We had such a great time! Neither one of us wanted it to end. It was really neat knowing there were so many of you out there following our trip. Thank you for your interest. We arrived back in Jacksonville about 6 p.m. on Monday, August 15th…right in front of the thundershowers. MemoryMaker is nicely tucked under a covered roof…awaiting her next excursion.

After we are settled down…get some projects around here started, we will take some time and do some reflections on the trip and post it here. We have logged our mileage, fuel consumption and ports of call. Before we started our trip, we heard so many say, this trip should not be done unless you have at least a year to do it…that you needed to take time to smell the roses. We sure smelled an awful lot of flowers…and although it would have been nice to have had more time, we are certainly glad we took the opportunity to make the trip.
