Nearly off...

Oops, bit of a pesimistic title for the blog - I thought I could change it later but apparently not.  I've tried half a dozen of these free blog sites, and this is the only one that will let me uploade pictures easily via ipad or iphone apps (until I lose them or they get stolen that is).

Only a few days before I head off to Buenos Aires to start, and I think that may be pear-shaped decision #1:  Going to Buenos Aires VIA DUBAI!  Saving a few hundred bucks seemed like a good idea at the time, but I think that after 30+ hours flying I might regret that choice...

Heading to Melbourne via train on Monday (I'll have to get another train book), then flying out Wednesday night.  A couple more days and a few dozen more drinks to go.  Thinking about a few drinks (maybe Barneys) late Monday night, then a few more at the Windsor Castle Tuesday night.  At least its a late night flight so I can't oversleep it!

I'll try to keep this blog up to date, and I'll try to keep it interesting.  I'm not sure yet if I'll use it for short updates (interesting), or use it as a fuller record (boring).  Probably a bit of both, so just ignore the boring bits!  I realised when I re-read my Panama letters how poorly I recorded what was actually happening and what I thought at the time, so I want to improve on that.  Don't worry though, I'll still acurately record the seating configuration of every aircraft I get on!

It would be good to see comments on this blog as I go, but apparently you'll need to create a Google account, which is pretty easy.  Otherwise (and in addition), there's facebook and email.

See some of you in Melbourne, and watch this blog!
