On our way home from Korea, Adam and I had a little time to spare and thought it would be fun to come up the statistics of our amazing adventure during our 3.5 months abroad. It wasn’t quite around the world in 80 days, (it was 108) but it was close! And funny enough we did indeed go all the way around the world!!! We Started our adventure in SLC on April 27th, and then went on to Seattle, then to Paris France, and then to Bangalore India.
On the way home home we went the other direction starting in Bangalore India, then going to Bangkok Thailand, then to Hong Kong, then Seoul Korea, then Los Angelas California, and finally back to Utah. We ended up getting to spend one wonderful night with Adam’s Aunt Carol and Uncle Clint who live in CA before heading home to Utah and so enjoyed our time with them. They are always so gracious and kind to host us and we especially loved the yummy SALAD they made for us (one of the things we missed the most while being abroad). Then we completed our adventure flying home to Utah on August the 13th for a total of 108 days.
Below are the statistics of ALL of our trips though (including our 3 months in India, 12 days in Thailand, weekend in Mumbai, 7 day trip down to Southern India, weekend in Sri Lanka, and 18 days in Korea).

Needless to say it was an adventure of a lifetime and one we won’t soon be forgetting. We truly felt so humbled and grateful to have had such an amazing experience and to have been able to see so many incredible countries and beautiful people. We made lifelong friends and memories we will always cherish. We came away with an even greater appreciation for the wonderful world our Heavenly Father has created for us! What an amazing artist he is!
