Dalva -
It was wonderful of you to take time out to be with us during that stressful period. Hopefully all of you are well settled in Petropolis by now!

Dear Dalva,
We loved being in Panami and appreciated the time you spent with us and the help you gave us.. It was great to be a member of your friends and family circle. I do hope that one day we will be able to reciprocate!
Until next time,
Neena

Unfortunately or not… things come to an end. But I sure think that all things happen for a reason… I wish you had been here during a “better” moment in my life – things were messy, I was way too emotional, etc – , but if I think a little hard enough, I simply loved every moment of it !!! And do hope we meet again!

Good luck to you in getting to South America! We’re going thru the second shipping experience in Buenos Aires!

Dalva -
Thanks for hosting us! Overall the experience has been a positive one, now it remains to be seen how we reintegrate back into society.

Hello Dalva,
It is bittersweet being at the end of the trip. It will be nice to see all our friends again, but we will miss very much the novel and serendipitous experiences that every new day brought us. We will feel a twitch to be in the car again, driving to a different, unknown place.
The other day we visited a tier shop. Now normally it is very boring going to a tire store to fix a puncture, but it now it evokes the feelings of being on the road and I feel comfort in this.
One day we will be back on the road. For now, it will be nice to go back to a routine and rest a little.

Dearest Neena and Shreesh,

Congratulations! What a year it really must have been, but I guess it was worth every minute, wasn’t it? And of course many changes are about to come! It has been so much fun “following” you on this great journey. And thank you very much for having had the opportunity of being (at least for a few days) part of it.
Best luck on the return!
Lots of love,
Dalva

Hi Abeline -
Thank You so much for your continued good wishes!

Ram Dada -
No, we are not tired! We have had our ups and downs during this voyage but currently we are in one of the ‘up’ phases. There are so many interesting things to discover and explore. Buenos Aires is a very rich and fascinating city, already we have at least three projects to research and learn more about!

Aniruddh -
Our motivation in creating the Alongdrive.com website was to share our journey with family and friends. It has been that, but it has also pushed us to get more involved with the countries that we visit. Who wants to yet another boring descriptive account? We have been trying to bring interesting history and stories that we discover along the way. At times we have been successful, but there is still much room for improvement! That is what keeps us going, the desire to get better and to improve.
