In 11 hrs and 56 minutes
 
I should be taking off Canadian soil. I'll be knocking back the vodkas all the way over and by this time tomorrow go through customs back in Sweden with my parents anxiously waiting for me.

Am altering my packing and leaving things behind. Things I bought to have in my future Canadian home. I will be back and I will be staying so why ship it back and forth.

Am currently ping-ponging between inconsolable tears and lucid matter-of-fact determination.

I really really do not want to get on that plane.

Enjoy the flight as best as you can in the circumstances. i.e. drink the goddam plane out of vodka.

See you.

Are there problems with using a MAC to view BE at all? Only I'm thinking of getting a mac in a month or two and I just couldn't bear going cold turkey.

Nope. none what so ever. I have been looking at BE on a mac all the time I've been on here. Since I switched I am not going back. My mother crashed my old PC laptop in a week. She's now on a PowerMac G4 since a year back and if it wasn't for the fact that the HDD just died on it, she'd be emailing and yapping like an idiot. I think I spent one hour with her to get her going and off she went.

I have a bit of mac surgery to do when I get there tomorrow because she is freaking out.

Dude. I'm in business class (45k frequentflyer miles on KLM paid) and will have vodka on tap. As well as bubbly.

There's a whole range of movies I want to watch on there.

Well if you decide to come back for another try and Alberta is the place you decide then there is ALWAYS a place to crash at mine for however long you need it - Drumheller is hardly the bustling city but it will be free and in Canada. Who knows you could start off in Calgary before heading off to where your heart lies :thumbsup:
