Day -1 - Anticipating the arrival...

As I type, Hans will be making his way to Amsterdam Airport for his eventual departure in about 8 hours. Can't wait to see him here! I've been counting down the sleeps.  :-)

I'm really pleased that he has taken the plunge to expose himself to 24 hours+ of travel which to us Aussies is a way of life. While we think nothing of jumping on a plane for a day or so, most Europeans and North Americans think it is some kind of water torture or is as dangerous as using alcohol based mouthwash. Heck, the last trip Gabby and I did to Europe back in May it was 40 hours door to door to the first night in a hotel in Bilbao. A walk in the park that first leg was...

Now, very soon you will see pictorial evidence of the end of Han's initial journey after I take a casual snap or two once he emerges from customs at Melbourne Airport in 32 hours or so...brave, brave, brave Hans!!
