Today we completed the circle of phase 1 of our seabattical. After 11,457.8 Kms. and $1,753 in fuel (truck is a pig), we got to Sarnia where the trip began. We enjoyed every km. and had fabulous driving conditions for all but a couple hundred kms. on the way home across Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

| Dan Fay re-united with train set |
The most fun of our arrival home was watching Dan's enjoyment unwrapping the train set we brought back from Vernon, via Vancouver, Comox, Tofino, Whistler, Kamloops, Jasper, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Sudbury, Toronto and finally Sarnia. The train set was a childhood toy of Julie's brothers, which had been passed along to family friends the Godfrays (about 40 years ago) that we stayed with on night 15, and they were happy to pass it back to the Fay family as they are mucking out and the train had run its course under the care of the Godfrays. What a wonderful gesture to send it back our way as Dan had wonderful memories and was thrilled to hear that Godfrey's were wanting to part with the train set.
Now it is time to pack up for South America.
Cheers Julie and Dawson
