That boy is going to need some rest - spoil him rotten and he'll be thinking.....East, West - My home is best!

Enjoy having Greg safely home again. Spoil him rotten for a few days, then knuckle down and get a book written - from both sides of the story.

Welcome home, Greg! A big cyber hug to the both of you, from someone who has enjoyed reading about your adventures during the past year. (Age 52 from the US)

Shall we assume that the reunion was a happy one?

I've been checking every day. kja - you got my hopes up. CJ

I think that maybe Greg gave cooties to his mother and they are both in quarantine.

Welcome back Greg, - artsnletters......waiting, waiting, waiting! Seriously. hope your reunion is going well and you're enjoying having your son home for a while.

I’m a lurker, too, in the US, in my 40’s. While I might not be that interested in buying the tales of a 20-something traveler living on a wing and a prayer, I was very interested in the tale of a mother’s love for her son who travels on a shoestring. (Interested enough to spend all day reading it.) I agree with the others that we need both of your voices to make this a book worth buying.

I just discovered this thread last night, and have read the whole thing straight through. What fun to read (and I'm sure the book would be equally entertaining)! BTW -- I'm in my 40s in Texas.

Hope the reunion was great!

artsnletters

The short answer is that yes, the reunion was great and he will be staying with me for another couple days. I am writing it up, so please be patient!

We're just curious artsnletters! Although we understand perfectly that of course the two of you have more interesting things to do now than write on the internet.

Been following from the beginning and would love the book for us and our traveler son. We're 55 and 67; he's not a Fodorite and is 27 and if he didn't have family responsiibilities would be right in there with your son!

If you have difficulty with publishers think
about doing a paperless version people could buy from iTunes, from Amazon for Kindle or even download to read on their computers etc... the Scruffman travels outside the box so think about publishing outside the box!
