Milano!

I made it!

There were doubters… but I sure proved them wrong. Ben can get on a plane and fly to another country all by himself and doesn’t need anyone to hold his hand.


My flight from Perth to Singapore was actually pretty good. I coped an exit row which was handy and I helped get the old guy next to me drunk by ordering another beer for him every time he got one. The airhosties wouldn’t give him 2 at a time… so I sure solved that problem. He was a really nice good. We had good chats and he kept me entertained for most of the trip. Cheers Scotty.

I only had a 2 hour stop over in Singapore so I wanted to make the most of it and be a good athlete… so I skipped off to the gym and had a plod on the treadmill for a bit trying to get the legs moving… which was followed by a lovely hot shower after. I boarded that second flight fresh and ready to go.
