We had our last dinner in Africa on the beach. The sky was clear and as we saw shooting stars, we made a wish to come back here with the kids when they got little older to do some service work. 

Africa is a beautiful place, not like any other places I've been to. In such a short period of time, we felt the vastness of the land and witnessed the "circle of life". We also went from seeing the village people's humble lifestyles to experiencing the most luxurious wedding I've been to. It's hard to pin point and grasp what the trip has taught me yet. Too many things to digest and think about over the next couple of days, or weeks. One thing though…I promised myself never to forget the lesson I learned from Dee and the people we met. Staying positive and enjoying what we have. "No problem" is the phrase we most heard during this trip. If they have no problem, what do I have to complain about in life? 

Although we very much enjoyed looking for wildlife during the safari trip, I most enjoyed the landscape. There was nothing on the field. Nothing. Just the land and the sky but it was the most incredible sight in my eyes. How can nothingness be so breathtaking? Such silence in the field felt so roaring… I never felt so close to sky… heaven… 

And the wedding… 

Aleena and Samir, we wish you all the happiest in the world. Thank you for letting us be part of your magnificent wedding. It's truly memorable. 

I thank God for this amazing adventure as we head back to the States. 

PS. We counted the number of times we were on the air. 11 times total . Crazy!
