the term "freestyle" is open to individual interptretation

I believe that pretty much somes it up. In the end our final bill was a little less than we expected which was a nice suprise. We got off the boat this morning and checked back in at the AC SOM hotel where we stayed before the cruise. All of the transfers have been very smooth. We are both ready to go home to our new house and reunite with Blue. We have seen him a playing on the web cam a few times throughout the trip and he seems to be having a good time. We are also ready to return to the land of familiarity, 24 hour access to everything, and english speaking folks! Now going back to work.....eehhhh I think we could use another week away from that. We have had several conversations this trip about how this maybe be time away...but it is definitly not relaxing. We have been exhausted since before the trip started. We will hopefully be flying to Dublin tomorrow (as long as the ash cloud participates) where we will be spending the last 24 hours of this trip in a castle. We both are planning to kick back and relax before returning to reality. Enjoy the photos below....and we will see you all very soon. There are only ten pictures below so this is a very small taste of what we did....we took over 800 hundred pictures. Needless to say there is more to come.
