Well it's that time, graduation day, after five years of hard work. Did not have a very good night sleep, got a couple of hours then woke up early a.m. and could not get back to sleep. So heading off now to do the final shopping and final preparations of the venue sorted and will be back for a shower cleanup and spruce up and then off to the university for the ceremony. So looking forward to it.

Hi Mum, the weather is being very unpleasant, cold & wet. We have been setting up the hall ready for tomorrow. Jeannie has gone to a lot of trouble and it will look really nice. There will be more than enough food I'm sure. Hope all is well with you. I will pass on your congratulations as promised. Love you. Xx

Was great catching up with Bec today having a few drinks and catching up with some American friends. Then continued through to a lovely dinner at the Pour House Bar & Grill with Bec and Tom and then finally back to Brad's to get some well earned sleep.

Flight was late getting to LA so had to rush to make our flight to NY. After a good meal, long awaited shower & a good sleep we are on the road to Youngstown.

After breakfast in the lounge we made our way down to the boarding gate and thanks to our Gold standing boarded immediately. Now seated and pushing away.
