1. Off & Away (The Journey)
So my journey begins! I get dropped at airport by dad and straight away alarm bells as a woman tells me all the flights are being cancelled due to the volcano in Chili. Lucky for me I was heading away from that and got through to the international airport without any issues.
The flight itself was fine and time passed really quickly, watched a few simpsons episodes and tried to sleep but i think i hardly got any shut eye the whole time. A man provided some in flight entertainment when he decided to get very angry at the cabin crew for refusing him a beer, he was extremely rude and started punching the wall and abusing staff and his wife and kid. I think maybe the long haul flight got to him and he just snapped. this went on for about 40 minutes and people were becoming very upset at him. cabin crew continued to try and calm him down and eventually three stewards came and jumped to handcuff him. People on the plane were keen to lend a hand as he had upset a number of kids on the plane.He was then handcuffed across three chairs and looked like a real dick. He was taken away by security at Doha - a place you do not want to be taken away! he would probly still be there feeling like a real peanut.
I landed at Doha very tired and the place was a dustbowl. The food shops looked terrible and the place was quite dirty. Outside all you could see was desert and giant silverplanes through the dustclouds, amazing to see a bit of the middle east, it was so hot but was looking forward to getting straight out of there! I think sam has to stay there for ten hours, that would be HORRIBLE.
Second flight was way better, noone around me so i spread out and relaxed, still no sleep tho. Landed in the afternoon and had a shower and got my head together. Lost my iphone which was a real pain (but found it later). Very tired i made my way to shockas on the tube and crashed in a heap!

Dad Hi Dave. Nice blog - great to be see what you are up to. If you get the chance go to the British Museum and see the Rosetta Stone. Things ok here - weather in Ballarat is crap as usual. Geelong won ok without Bartel (concusion) and Selwood and an injured Kelly. Crows next week. Joel Corey may get reported for a sling tackle but I think he will be ok. Tyler ok - will get him serviced this week. Hear from you soon Love Dad
