I&#8217;ve unpacked only the basics, leaving most of my boxes of &#8220;stuff&#8221; unpacked in the basement.  I just don&#8217;t want to fill my house up with so much stuff again.  It&#8217;s strange being home, yet not strange at all.  It&#8217;s hard for me to explain it.  I really don&#8217;t feel like I&#8217;ve stopped traveling yet.  Tomorrow, I am flying to Iowa where I will get a car and drive back to Seattle.  So I still have 2 weeks of travel ahead of me.  Maybe when I get back I&#8217;ll finally feel more settled.  I have yet to write about my last month of traveling around the world.  I had some amazing experiences in Dahab Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Palastine and Cyprus.  Writing about them and updating my photos is a priority for me, but I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s going to happen until after I get back from Iowa.  So any of you who are wondering if I am ever going to add anything more on this blog the answer is YES!  I have so many more photos to show you all.  So many, in fact, that I will need several days just to go through them and pick the ones I want to show you.  So please be patient&#8230;photos and stories will come soon enough.<\/p>\n<iframe src='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gregwhitephoto.com%2Fblog%2F2006%2F07%2Famerica%2F&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=280&amp;action=recommend&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=30' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; height:30px' allowTransparency='true'><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m back in Seattle.
