Cheers, guys!
Phil, I'm familiar with Dylan's work from years on deviantART and on Facebook.
I'm spending the night here in Sydney with my folks (incidentally, my father has beaten cancer, he was given the all clear last week) and flying QANTAS to Singapore, then Air France to Paris, then Icelandair to Reykjavik.
The return leg is routed through Amsterdam via KLM airlines.
I'm also in the almost 40-hour travel category, too. I'll let you know how I fare when I arrive.
