All of the Ships...

It's Finally Final. I will be touching down in Sydney this Saturday morning. I will be flying via Tokyo, but really I think it's been an elongated trip home after leaving the Netherlands over four months ago. Rotterdam to Sydney via Budapest, Cairo, Alexandria, Brussels, Bonn, Hanover, Rotterdam, Praha and Brno. I hear the bells calling me back- the ships to the shore. I long to see my family, my city, my friends, my Yum Cha restaurants. Beaches. Sweet, sweet Sydney Summer.

Three wonderful weeks Oz-side before I begin the 2006 Amsterdam Experience!

For all those heading home for the upcoming holidays- and by upcoming holidays I am of course referring to the Zoroastrian celebration of Divine Spirit Vohu Manah. As the Sages teach us- May your inflight movie not involve Paulie Shaw and your meal refrain from undercooked fish, chicken or pork. May you travel on an Asian or Gulf Airline where subservience and hospitality co-mingle with piles of untaxed cash. And may the universe conspire to deliver you safely to your loved ones. PEACE.
