I can't even begin to thank everyone for their generosity and hospitality along the way. There is nothing quite like it. For the most part, the four of us (ucubed, SmokeyNL, DonFernando, and myself) were strangers to each other, and to all of you inmates whom we met along the way. This didn't matter. When we all sat down to smoke, drink and eat, we were all family. You guys welcomed us to the best of your humidors, your homes, and your cities. For this i am greatly humbled and thankful. I was especially thankful for the opportunity to put faces to the usernames that I had become so familiar with.

There was no shortage of adventure along the way and I have so many memories. I'm sure you all have seen photos, but they're only half of the story. Nothing can beat the experience of meeting so many people for the first time, yet feeling like you've known them forever. Age didnt matter. Some young, barely 18, and others as old as well...tobii LOL...but again nothing could stop us from having great times, great smokes, and great memories.

I could never repay the generosity I was shown along the way, nor can the great times we had ever be replaced. I can only hope that I get the chance to smoke with you all again (preferrably on a less hectic schedule).

So until the day we can herf together again...Thanks for the memories everyone.

Very nice post, Aldrin.

True. You may not be able to repay the generosity you were shown.
But you can pay it forward.
