Blogging from 30,000 feet.
In my day we just got drunk on planes, now they have wireless Internet.
After an embarrassed false start to the adventure due to embarrassing stupidity, I’m now on my way.
 |
Got to the airport and discovered i left my passport at home. F*#k I’m an idiot. How the hell I’ve ever made it around the world so many times i have no idea.
On another note, kind of surprised i didn’t just cause in international incidend. I’m carrying my Geiger couter with me on the plane (bought it for the Chernobyl leg of this trip). Little known fact, you get about 3-4 times the usual dose of gamma radiation when flying that you do on the ground.

This fact was demostrated to me when said Gieger counter started makeing it’s hight pitched High ratiation alert. (sounds like an ambulence). The look of some guy with a funny bright yellow box makeing a weird alarm stangly didn’t upset too many people, even in these wonderful paranoid times we live in.
Anyway. should be landing in Bali in about 7 hours or so .
Enjoy all.

Carl, and you dress yourself in the morning how???
I usually even manage to get my shoes on the right feet.
My socks i’m managed to get on the right feet without fail for over 25 years. it’s an amazing run of luck
Wonders never cease.

Damn, Someone who knows my mannerisms. You know as well as me that matching socks for me is a rare event.
I did manage the matching sockes today however, maybey that the problem. too much time spent on socks, not enough on passport.
Give me a break, i did get up at 4:30am this morning.

Stay safe.

Now i don’t feel so bad leaving my English contact address at home! Take care not to lose your passport on this trip. I haven’t done anything to get the large hat yet!

Nessy and amanda
Well it’s always an adventure at least.
Maybe the next trip should be “round the world while wearing a dunces cap”
