ALL SET FOR MY RETURN
WELL MY BAGS ARE PACKED, MANY OF THE GOODBYES HAVE BEEN SAID. ON NEW YEARS EVE AT 8.40am, I FLY FROM DUBLIN VIA ATLANTA TO PANAMA CITY. I WILL ARRIVE THERE AROUND 10PM.
I HAD A GREAT SURPRISE TODAY WHEN ONE OF MY GREAT SUPPORTERS AND NEWS CORRESPONDENT, FERGUS OWENS CALLED OVER.
FERGUS TOLD ME THAT IN 1972 HE HITCH-HIKED ACROSS THE STATES IN 10 DAYS. HE STOPPED IN SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA LANDING A GREAT JOB WORKING FOR THE MOTEL SIX CHAIN. EVERYDAY BEFORE WORK HE WENT FOR A SWIM AND OFTEN WONDERED HAD HE STAYED IF HE WOULD HAVE BECOME A SENIOR MANAGER THERE.
TO WAKE UP IN SANTA BARBARA WAS HEAVEN.. YES LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT, BUT HE HAS NO REGRETS..
THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT SUPPORT FERGUS
