Finally we are done with our big tour, and are back home safe in Oxford. Over the course of 6 weeks, we actually went all the way around the world! Athens to Rome to Oxford to all over France to Oxford to Florida to Seattle to Taiwan to Hong Kong to Shanghai to Oxford!

New Things to Remember When You Travel
All these lessons were learned the Hernandez way, aka the HARD way.
1. Never ever, ever ever ever, NEVER get on a plane to a foreign country without a pocketful of the destination country's currency. You have no idea if there will be ATMs, if they will be turned on, or if they will connect to your bank's network. :(
2. Pack light, and find out the weight restrictions on each airline you travel on. Otherwise, you will end up paying lots of money for each extra kilogram you bring. :(
3. Research visa requirements. Airlines won't tell you if you need a visa to enter China (for example) but the Chinese will be happy to charge you lots of money to get you a rush order visa. :(
4. Shuttle busses are BS. In almost every case, two people sharing a cab to the hotel is cheaper and way more direct than taking a shuttle bus. :(
Get the London and Job Show On the Road
And now, we have to get jobs and move to London. Our time of screwing off and sleeping in and not dealing with anything but lunch is over! It was fun, but now it's back to reality. What a year this has been. :)
