Well, I lied to my friends and family for months about going to New Zealand for Christmas. I never intended of actually going to NZ. All along my plan was to come home for Christmas and surprise everyone, most importantly my family. Details of my return never made it to Canada, which made the surprise just as I had invisioned it to be.
I had the surprise recorded, which can be viewed here:

From the time my alarm went off, to the time I rolled into Drew's driveway,(where I hid out for the first night) I had been travelling for about 38 hours. It involved lots of naps, hanging out in Hong Kong, a bump up to business class, and a sigh of relief when the plane landed in Vancouver.
I had a terrific time on my travels, but home is just about the next best thing. I met some awesome people, some of whom I will be friends with for life. I will keep these memories with me forever.
Thank you for reading.
