"Cos im leaving, on a jet plane, don't know when i''ll be back again, ohhhh unless i got some other visa troubles or some outstanding foreign warrents or a large low pressure system over the North Atlantic"
Well not exactly how John Denver put it but you catch the drift.
So here i am once again on a cheerful Friday afternoon in Cow Town. Waiting to head off to rejoin my companions in Eastern Europe. But this time I have all the proper papers, a key component in making this second attempt more successful. I dont understand anything written on the visa but it looks pretty official. Lots of colours, holograms and peoples signatures so all looks well. And hey, if I do have any troubles with me being an Aussie, I came prepared. My guitar case is wapped in Hockey tape, I got a big box of timbits and my ipod is filled to the brim with Neil Young and Alanis Morrisette. And there both dieing to give character evidence for me.
But in all serisousness, im exceptionally keen to get over there, and make up for lost time. We all worked hard for this, and now its time to see that work bare fruit. Better late than never, and im ready to rock in Ukraine (not quite as cathcy as the Beatles version but its all good).
So hopefully my next entry will be from a more exotic location (no offense to Calgary) and i'll have some sweet stories to share. Till then stay safe, keep smiling and have fun!!!
As a Jamacan bobsledder once said..."Peace be da journey"
Cheers,
Ben
