Leaving on a jet plane

Dear Friends,

you know that old song?

I'm leaving, on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go...

Yes, I'm packing my bags for an 'extended trip' to China. Some people have been really encouraging about this, others more or less wanted to put me in a mental asylum. Those of you who are the more adventurous type will understand that sometimes a time comes when you just feel like taking a radical step. Yes, I admit, I am a closet adventurer and radical. I will be leaving around the 15th January 2008. I hope you can all make it to my going away party on Saturday 12th January. Please email me or send an SMS if you don't have the details yet!

I hope to stay in touch! You can check back here later in January. I hope I will be able to post regular blogs here on this spot.

I hope to see you all at the party. In the meantime, I hope you all have a great holiday and wish you the very best for the New Year!
