It appears that my kidneys and or liver were rejoicing when I got on the big "Tin Crow" and headed over to Fluxy's place in Brisbane.

With a couple of hours in the air, it gave me some time for thought, mainly on my move to the US.

While I was initially excited about the move to the US with my wife, I was somewhat melancholy about missing my mates as well as the things that made Australia what it is.

What stood out this trip was that a fair majority of the people I'd met with, hadn't progressed. By that I mean they appeared to be in their own comfort zones and in fact Iran into some resentment for actually leaving and wanting to do something for myself.

Shit happens for a reason sometimes, I'm going to see how far this journey takes me and we'll see what happens. Anyways ..... on to Fluxy's.
