The end of the chapter

"I've seen your face a hundred times
Everyday we've been apart
I dont care about the sunshine, yeah
cause mama, mama, I'm coming home"

It's official, my last day of work on the PNG Gas/LNG Project is the 15th of December. KBR has requested that I be made available for a new project in the new year and neither me, Exxon, or Eos has put up a fight. KBR doesn't know what project I'm going to yet, but they have a few options. Right now it's sitting at around 50% Qatar via London, 25% Nigeria, and 25% somewhere else... but this changes daily. I'm hoping for the London and Qatar option... It would be about a year in London and then a year or two in Qatar engineering and constructing a GTL plant for Shell.

The plan right now is to get ready to leave Australia... I have a flight from Brisbane to Calgary (via Sydney & Vancouver) booked for 30-December, which puts me home in time for New Years. Then I'm hoping to have a couple weeks in Calgary catching up with friends and family...

Inbetween the 15th and the 30th I'll be going to the project Christmas party, then heading to Vietnam to visit Jezzer, who I used to work with on this project but he's now working in Ho Chi Minh City. I figure I better check out an Asian country while I'm still in this hemisphere in case I don't make it back anytime soon.

I still have pictures and stories from when my family was here visiting to put up, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. I can leave you with the following pictures, which were taken on my mom & Frank's last night in Australia. We went to a couple's house who we met in Coolum, they own/run a plant nursery 45 minutes SE of Brisbane. We had a great tour of the nursery, beers, bbq, kangaroo watched, and capped the night off with some good ol' fashioned Australian Cane Toad culling. Greg tee'd them up, and I knocked 'em... Notice the head is down, left arm straight, hips turning before the arms... beautiful.
