Gully and Elise's Travel Blog: June 2011

I hope we haven’t completely alienated our devout followers. Clearly we’re having trouble keeping up with the fast-paced “real world” so we don’t have the time to wrap up this blog thing once and for all. Elise started work last week which means I’m officially a kept man. My role is now to stay home and write blogs, make dinner, give foot massages etc. etc. I guess life could be worse…

So this is our final blog posting – unless of course you all choose to hit the streets with placards in protest of this blog being over. In that case I’m sure we could find something to write about to keep you entertained. In the meantime you can save your Sharpies and Bristol board; here are a couple more top 5 lists from our year-long vacation.

Top 5 Things We Miss from Travelling

1. Getting eight hours of sleep every night.
2. Not knowing/caring which day of the week it is (or in some cases which month!)
3. Cheap booze everywhere (except Australia)…it also helps that we never had to get up early for work the next day.
4. Looking and dressing like hobos every day and not caring at all.
5. Using sweat and sunscreen instead of moisturizer to keep our skin baby-soft.

Top 5 Things We Missed/Took for Granted From Home

1. Good shower
2. Real kitchen
3. Blackberries
4. Hockey (well, more so Gully than Elise)
5. Dogs and cats are not mangy and rabid
6. We don’t bother counting our change

Top 5 Countries (in alphabetical order)

1. Bosnia
2. Brazil
3. Japan
4. Switzerland
5. Vietnam

So I guess that’s that. It’s been a slice. We hope you enjoyed reading as much as we enjoyed writing! If you want to get in touch with us you can email us at gullyandelise@gmail.com. The wanderlust has abated (for now), but we’ll try to let you know if we decide to travel around the world again, or maybe we’ll just become professional writers!

BYE!!!
