Home sweet home

I finally made it home and now realize what a unique and exciting experience I have left behind me. My wife surprised her Belgian Bandit with home made belgian waffles and blueberry sauce for breakfast, a personal favourite of mine. Home sweet home.

The time has come to say thank you to a lot of people. I want to thank my colleagues Andrew Dewitt and Amanda Phillips and my boss, David Siler for giving me the opportunity to do this trip. It thank Kathy Rakowiecki for helping me with this blog and uploading the pictures. It made me realize what amazing colleagues and superiors I have and what great companies Daimler and Detroit Diesel are. I am very fortunate and grateful to work for them.

I also want to thank Henry Albert and Scott Winter for giving me excellent trucker's advice on the phone, and Brian Sutherland for cheering me on from a distance. I thank Dave Ruuhela for co-driving and spending all that time with me in the Cascadia and for keeping me on the right track. I thank Kai Hillebrand for successfully passing the Cascadia truck driving fascination test, Kristina for helping me out with videoing and Hotel AAC run by Hartmut Scheller and all his people for always giving me a hearty welcome and providing a free shower.

I thank Arlene Prey for checking in with me every day, Audrey Hudetz for reading my blogs and Emanuel Demeulemeester for reminding me of the great time I am having. I thank all the nice people I have met on the road for the enjoyable conversations. Last but not least I thank Schmusi, Yannik and Mika for letting me leave for so many days to live the European fantasy of trucking in America.
