Weirdly, I watched something like this whilst I was in the airport. I was too tired to go and explore though - plus, I’d probably get shot if I did.

"If home is where the heart is, then I am not yet home."

“If home is where the heart is, then I am not yet home.”

And so, that concludes my journey.

Looking back, I guess I had a pretty great time.

Yes, the trip did pretty much end in disaster, in fact, there was disaster at every turn. I got my heart broken badly and I had to come home a lot earlier than I had ever wanted. But, I made some amazing friends that I think I’m safe to say will be just that for the rest of my life and I got to do something a lot of people don’t ever get the opportunity to ever do, and for that I’m really thankful.

Hopefully, I’ll be back out there again in the not-so-distant future and who knows, maybe I’ll post some more pictures then!

The first thing I saw as I left Heathrow Airport in London, England. A red double decker bus. I was so sad to be home.

In flight cuisine. Once again, it was awful. I should lower my expectations. After all, what should I expect from a microwave on a plane?

These were some cool wall paintings at Denver Airport. I got some strange looks when I was trying to snap these.

My last night was spent in Denver International Airport. I had had little to no sleep in about 4 days and my head was starting to spin out on me. I grabbed coffee and pie at Burger King, mainly because it was the only thing open at 11pm, watched a French movie called “7 Days” and made a new friend, his name was EJ.

I finally set up camp opposite my check in desk, where I napped until 5:30am, by which time EJ had headed off for his flight out to Kansas City.

I waited and waited and then finally, I boarded my flight to New York.

I spent a lot of money on this street. It was probably the prettiest looking one I saw in Denver and they had some Oriental restaurant whose owner, according to Russ, was a really nice guy. In fact, no-one I met in Denver was anything but really nice. Move to Denver!

The last American meal I ate. It was at a place in Denver called HBurger. Russ managed to eat more than me, for the first time. I guess I was bummed out about leaving.

A Day In Denver - Starring Russell Ault.

We relied on GoogleMaps. They sent us the wrong way a lot of the time.

When we arrived in Denver, we were lost and we were tired. This didn’t help too much.

As the sad news broke.

A few hours later at Logan’s, after speaking to Russ and also to Grey, it had transpired that I had no place to stay and only one option available - to fly home.

I rearranged my flights and organised travel home. I was leaving that night for Denver, Colorado on a Greyhound bus to make my way to Denver International Airport. From there, I’d fly to JFK Airport, New York and then onto London, England.

Grey and I got to Kansas City around 6am and met her friend Logan amidst the remnants of a party. We were at some strange house, hungry and exhausted and desperate to get some sleep.

These are pictures from the back yard.
