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.

what more can I add to this, for me it was a great adventure,
sometething to remember my whole life. It was great to meet a lot of you,
many of which I allready considdered friends from the time we spent talking
in chat almost daily (some even long, from before I came in chat or even
came to this board)

I want to thank all the people that we met allong the way for their amazing
hospitality, it was great to meet all of you and I do wish we can herf again in
the future.
