The Fastest Way to Get to Australia . . .

is to never leave!

After enjoying the fantastic sessions and social events at Web Directions 06, Andy Clarke, Kevin Yank and myself headed off to the airport to catch a series of flights that would eventually get us to Oviedos for Fundamentos Web. But, as it happens, our flight ended up being cancelled and we’ve had the pleasure of staying in Australia an extra, unplanned night.

As we had to pass through immigration and formally leave Australia, we had to formally re-enter the country. There is now a unique stamp in my passport:

“Did Not Depart”

Double meanings aside, I’ve now learned that the fastest way to get to Australia is to never leave. Which, as much as I’m looking forward to visiting Spain, I must say has always been a joy to visit. Web Directions 06 South was an awesome experience, so my love and gratitude to Maxine Sherrin and John Allsopp and all the fantastic speakers and staff for putting on yet another inspirational event, and to all the attendees and friends who make 35 hour globetrots a joy rather than a pain in the proverbial you-know-what.

Wish us smooth travels, my friends, and I’m looking forward to my very first visit to Spain.

Update: Kevin has written a witty and accurate description of our adventure in his blog post this morning Did Not Depart.

    “The fastest way to Australia” My how time have changed. At one time it was steel a sheep, end up in court and find yourself on a ship journey of a few weeks :0)

    Though to be fair, nowardays I do know of a fair few UK citizens who have made it under their own steam and they say it’s really quite nice….
