The search for new eyes begins, Maui, Hawaii January 30th 2008.

Waiting in the the boarding lounge in Sydney Kingsford smith international airport, I couldn't help but feel a rising sense of personal power with my life. I was from this point forth completely responsible for everything. I mean the planning for this trip required my attention but I guess you could describe my feeling as the jump, I'd already taken the deep breath and now now there was no looking back, those few steps down the tunnel and into the aircraft were the plunge. The first day of the rest of my life. Completely win the moment, if only people could learn to feel this way ever waking moment of every day. Bon Voyage!
