The Otterbachers would like to extend their kindest thanks to those friends that have kept their hope alive, and helped to make this dream a reality. To all the friends they left behind, they keep them close to their hearts, knowing they will see them when they return. For those friends that they have yet to meet, they keep an excited eye out in anticipation of the bonds of friendship they hope will form.

It is because of friends like those they have made that this entire trip was made possible. Without their love and support, the journey would not be as successful and fulfilling as it truly is. So to all who have helped in any way, thank you, and we'll miss you!
