Denver to Jamaica Plain

I left Denver on Monday morning at 7:30 am and arrived in Boston at 12:30am Wednesday!  I was anxious to get home, excited to see my friends and family again, to enjoy summer in New England, and start looking for work.  I arrived home feeling a great sense of accomplishment for of all the possible things that could of gone wrong, virtually none materialized.  I had researched and planned this trip, had places to stay with friends, had mapped out places I wanted to check out.  I certainly had worries and anxieties prior to leaving but as the miles passed by, those fears quickly melted away.  I met many wonderful, friendly, and helpful people.  I took the time to hear their stories, find out what they did for work and fun.  It helped me narrow down what truly inspires and motivates me.  I was thinking as I was driving the last leg of my trip home that I could be a truck driver since I enjoy driving so much. 

I brought my dad's ashes with me and they also completed this big journey and will be scattered on our property in East Blue Hill, Maine later in the summer.  I felt his spirit with me on this trip and realized how much I am like him than not. 

Lastly, I want to thank Chris and Yvette, Baji, Rich and Sheila, Jenn, Reidar, Mary, and Ella for hosting me along the way!  Your hospitality was a big reason why my trip was so successful!!

My roommate, Sara, and I will have a welcome home/summer solstice barbecue on Friday June 22nd at 7pm, 11 Spalding St. #2, Jamaica Plain so come and share some food, stories, and pictures of my trip!
