Chris said a good line while we were in Vegas. He said "if someone had told me this would be the reward for working so hard for 5 years, it might not have been so bad". I think it's hard to explain it though without being through those 5 years first. It's nice that we can get these fun rewards, and I hope you get many more.
Excellent epilogue Ben. You summed up the many of my highlights too.
I have to say, you were an excellent traveling companion. I foresaw much strife and stress, but the whole trip you were laid-back and easy-going. I think our traveling styles complemented well. The fact that you were outgoing/brave enough to talk to randoms was a huge help and made the trip much more interesting.
It really is too bad you wiped out in Italy, because the last 2 weeks of my trip would have been 10 times better with you around. I only hope it makes your hunger to go back that much stronger.
One of the things I forgot to mention was how great a navigator you were. I didn't have to worry for a second about getting lost because you either knew where we were going or you hid the fact we were lost until you found your way again :) That saved us lots of time and aggravation.
