CT bon voyage party

My stop over in Connecticut marked the 10th destination of the RTW trip. In the short week, I crammed in lots of activities, family + friend visits. My visit ended on a very high note with a bon voyage party as I prepare to take-off abroad (first to Denmark then to China for the next few years). It was so great to have friends and family there but there were moments of bitter sweet as I reconnected with some old friends which I can only hope will not dissolve with the increased distance. It was a very hot and humid day and threaten with thunderstorm throughout the day. At the end we got a few sprinkles, not enough to spoil the fun.
