And He's Off!(not a dig a Vince's odour)

Well Vince that April 12th date that seemed so far away when booking tickets and getting visas(with a little trouble) has sneaked up apon you, and the day is here!
Just a big good luck in Oz, I look forward to tracking your journeys on the blog, I guess for me its bit of an opposite emotion to everyone else in Oxon, whilst they all communily breath a hugh sigh of a relief, I 've got to come to terms with the fact you'll be in touching distance. For this very reason I've changed my name by deed pole to Barry Thompson and that way you'll never track me down!
