There are so many conclusions that I could draw from the holiday, but here are a few. It was too short, but always would be, I suppose. On the other hand, 6 weeks is a long time for Erith not to see her mum and her friends, so at the end she was very keen to get home. Other conclusions?
- Erith will likely travel when she's old enough and I'm certain that she'll be a very competent traveler.
- You need a lot of time to see Europe. To see anywhere actually, but especially Europe.
- Erith and I have the power to make good weather - we did it for 6 weeks running.
- I couldn't stand doing that trip without Erith - I'd have spent the whole time feeling as though I'd lost the opportunity to open her eyes to the world a little bit.
The most important conclusion is one that I knew before we went on holidays, but that was confirmed to me every single day. Erith is a really fantastic kid and I love her dearly.
I guess that's it - the trip's over and so is the blog. Thanks for reading.

I checked out the blog site and enjoyed the ending and your overall conclusions about the trip. It's wonderful that it was so comparatively trouble free (after all what's a wrecked suitcase in The Big Picture?) and that you both have such great memories of those 42 days. I've gone every step of the way with you in my mind and you're not the only parent who has a dearly loved kid who has just been on a big trip!
Joanie, there is something deeply satisfying about traveling with kids. Despite it being so much fun, you almost feel as though you have a responsibility to expose kids to differences in the world. It's got to be the best duty I've ever had.
It is over all ready? Remember to keep in touch, everyone!
