First I wonder about your decision...!
Why did you choose Tortoise...there were other good options like Snail...

Oops!! LOL!!

If you're one month til the off, and we're one month til the off, what date are you off? (or something like that.... )

We're flying on 17th August - which makes me think the little guy should really have kicked off at 5 weeks.

God, this immigration stuff is doing my brain in.... :scared:

Well, they remind me of me - slow and plodding but get there in the end. I hope him being stuck isn't prophetic!

BTW, I love your siggy line. It has the style of a "Confucius say..." Chinese proverb.

So, I am on same page as you for slow and being steady. But its again based on circumstances and oppurtunities...

Did you hear what I said in Merlot's posting...then you would appreciate that as well...
Life is a Cocktail of drink...you can find love, hate, good, bad and ofcourse sometimes Ugly...
or to be more better way:
Life is full of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get...!
I liked this one. of course the movie as well. Since hes my best Actor. Mr. Hanks.

Ok about signature, it tells to be conscious. The light you see up above may not always be Sun it may be thunder... So be aware for opputunites and learn from mistakes... thats what the saying goes...
Hope you enjoyed the lecture as well..
Good Luck for your Trip.
You are welcome to the Land of Happening and Making...

You need inspiration when everything works agaist you, to Hold on.
It makes me remind the Dialog sequence of Aunty, I mean in SpidyII which turns Peter Parker to Hero again. Quite Inspiring...There is a Hero in All of us, but sometimes you have to give up those things that we like the most... and something more..
Thanks for the post.
