Leaving on a Jet Plane!

Well it has finally arrived! I am sitting at Melbourne airport waiting to board the MASSIVE A380 airbus to Singapore then a mad dash onto the next flight to Manila.  Packing and leaving has been a very intreresting expereince.  There were 2 key points that really made it feel like I was leaving; when I handed in my house key, it really felt like there was no return; and when I had to pack everything into by backpack.  I had it all lying out on the table and it took hours to get around to puting it into the bag (which only took a few minutes!)  Again this was a time that made it feel so real.
It has also been amazing to hear and see how people are so supportive of the project.  So many offered of support; financial, physical, emotional and spiritual.  It has just been amazing.

I feel as though I have everything and hopefully have the resourses required. Now I just have to get on that plane and within 12 hours I will be at Manila! Bring it on! I have a week in country training before starting the project.  After then I hope to blog more often as things happen. Till then.
