Canada: The journey so far...

Hey everyone!
I'd so like to post photos.. Really I would, but firstly my digital camera broke during transit, and secondly, I'm standing in the middle of Changi Airport in Singapore.. I had to stop over here for the night because I'm not allowed to stop over in the US without a VISA, which ruled out most of the flight options I had..

Anyway. The journey so far has been without drama.. Well, there was that horrifying 5 minutes of violent turbulence as we descended that made the lights in the cabin go off and the passengers grip the seats in front and almost scream.. Yah that was fun..
But apart from that, not much drama. Oh and the camera broke of course.. Bugger..

I'd really like to thank everyone that went out of your way to do something special for me before I left, I wasn't expecting any of it and it really made the whole experience so much nicer. I can't say I didn't shed a couple of tears at Melbourne airport, and then on the plane, and then when I read all the letters and books you gave me.. (You know who you are!) So thank you.
I'll miss you all terribly, so make sure you check back here often!

That's all for now, I need to go and get some sleep because my wake up call is at 6:00! Then it's another 17 hrs of flight!
Cheers!

When you spare a moment, you'll have to let me know what happened.

I must admit when I left I had no idea you had planned something - and now you realize just how special it really is. I never forgave myself for loosing that DVD.

I didn't get letters though, just some stupid card... In RUSSIAN :P

Good Luck on your flight - Don't watch Lost ( I did that - not a good idea...)

When you're ready to come to san fran, we have some long overdue catching up and partying to do.

Somehow, I knew you'd find time to update the blog... you always do! ;oP
Well, #1: Good to hear the plane didn't crash. That always puts a bit of a downer on an otherwise superb flight with amusment ride style turbulence. Jon and Ben trying to shake me out of a tree could never truly compare...

That's pretty dodge about the camera too. The King shall surely sincerely somewhere be quite disheartened to hear the wait for photos shall be longer than what it was... going to be... before the camera got broken... y'see, because I wasn't sure if you'd realise I meant the camera... Yes, definantly should have done an email instead...

Well, you just keep safe and grab some nice noodles before your flight. The salmonella gives them their flavour.

All the best Jim!! :D
