Hi John - Happy New Year!

I've enjoyed reading your journal and happy to hear that you are coming back soon. Gee, those 6 months have flown by for me - how about you??(ha ha)

Give me a buzz when you get back to work so we can take care of submitting the paperwork for your overseas allowances.

Have a safe trip!!

Seriously, looking forward to your safe return.
