Ok, on a more dramatic side of things!! Some of the showgroups are being presented with some major issues, as their 'props' and so on for some of the teams who shipped them in advance have them caught in customs!!! Not good, but I did mention some time ago how strict our Customs were.. and being as though these props are being sent with no one to pick them up!!! what do you expect!! Let's hpe that is being sorted out!!!

and bex, Singapore is fantastic!!! if you are just at the airport though, have fun b/c its massive and so many shops! if you are going out - then dont forget its illegal to have chewing gum!!! hahaa.. yes, its very clean.. Go to Sentosa Island, just a quick trip on this massive cable car across from the mainlaind, the view from that is spectacular!!

and LinP, yes for sure.. I will most definately go and introduce myself to Hector and wish him well.. It will be great to meet everyone..

Jayson, I can't tell you how glad I am to hear that. I am anxiously awaiting a call from him tonight, as he has been travelling for about 31 hours and should be making his way through customs right now. I was on the web site for Air New Zealand to be sure the flight has come in on time. How exciting!

I'm guessing this is your son's first big trip away? that is very exciting! and wow, to Australia.. my first trip was to Italy, so its almost the same, my mom came along the first time.. I was only 15.. but every year after that, she was like you at home, waiting for the call!!! She always burst into tears when I rang too!! so I expect Lin, you will be the same! haha... how sweet...

I'll be sure to keep an eye out and if he needs anything, be sure to tell him that he can ask me.. I have access to everything and I'm happy to assist anybody.

Jay - Bex.... I just knew this was going to happen! Somewhere in the back of my mind I keep hearing "Let's get this party started!" But then again it IS Worlds!

Bex, if Jay acts foggy... sock 'em for you and all of us! No doubt he's going to be in his Mr. Aussie PR-Mode! It will remind him that as the PR guy he's also there to be the host-with-the-most at Worlds. Also... Bex' skate well dear... we'll be rooting for you!

Jay... on the other hand... Burton reminded me about what you Aussie's consider hospitality! Try not to scare the newbie's at World who are on their first trip! And whatever it takes you're our Entertainment Tonight editor on all the gossip, dirt and party report!

From the Official Web site of the 2007 Artistic Worlds:

Preparations on track for Junior Opening Ceremony
Tuesday 30 October 2007

Juniors have graced the floors of Gold Coast Stadium during training over the past two days and are set for the opening ceremony at 7pm tonight ahead of the competition which begins tomorrow morning.

I'm pretty sure that was 7:00 pm Tuesday in Australia, which has already passed, so the Junior Opening Ceremonies must be finished. You can use the following link anytime to find out what time it is "right now" in Gold Coast Australia:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=1490

It's 12 noon Tuesday right now in California which I'm pretty sure makes it about 5:00 a.m. Wednesday in Australia. That means the first day of competition will begin in 2 or 3 hours.

Here is the schedule for the first day of the Junior Worlds:

Keep in mind that the Australia time is 14 hours after the East coast time in the US. For example, the opening ceremonies, which were held from 7-9 pm were happening this morning from 5 to 7 am here in Pennsylvania. A great site to visit is www.timeanddate.com where you can set a clock for your location and Gold Coast.

I sure wish we were able to see/read about the ceremonies and the official practices.

It is such a shock to see this world class event with such little amount of people. By gum when I skated (which is old as dirt) just for Gold skate would have filled that whole place in Aussie land. My how the numbers have gone
