Lend&Lease Participant blogs
As you know, I was honored to be a 2016 Land and Lease Aerodrome member. During last months I saw how kind you are and how much you support me. I know that I can't give all your care back, but there is something that I can do for you - report you. I started to write a blog (first in my life!) and I want to convey you all my feelings about journey of my life.

For those who wants to follow my path there is a new blog about (pre)Origins 2016
I'm on your six for those blog entries.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Following close behind Sven too.
See you on the Dark Side......
Will track them with interest

Just come up to date with part two.
Brings all the enjoyment back again.
Thanks Dan-Sam/ Daniel.

The new chapter was added to my blog - I am counting last hours
Check it - there are many photos from an unexpected experience
Ho! Ho! Ho! Great stuff there!
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
As you say, Daniel - too bad your real trip won't be as short...
Let's hope the experience makes up for the length of time you'll spend in the air and in terminals waiting.
See you soon - all the best,
Matt
Matt, I expect that Wednesday would be my longest day ever - 30 hours!

No my lips were sealed....o-oh... Sven told you about last debriefing, Andrzej?
Same counts for you & Ladinek and the German return flight to Hotel Mars.
I read your blog entry with great interest.
Nice present - this simulation hour.

Sorry Steve, I saved it as a draft, fix it this morning and Sven was faster then me
No worries. Looks like you are having a blast. Tell Andy to keep off the beer - it's not good for him

What a great adventure and a great read too. Thanks and enjoy the rest of it! Mike
OK, try it now, it should work and tell me if not.

Please say "G'day" to Andy & all the WoG crew!
Another one is here
Dan,
I'm glad your game-mastering reputation is intact. The map looked awesome.
Looking forward to the scenario pack and rules.

No blog today - I am totally off and have to wake up about 6 am. Tomorrow I will add both (today and tomorrow), I promise.
Yeah, round about day 3 I was completely knackered as well
Looking forward to the next blog(s).

I updated the list in the very first post. Enjoy my blog
I've been in Downtown of Columbus yesterday. The link to chapter in my blog you can find in the very first post
Today (Wednesday; Travel to Toronto) is online - check the very first post of this thread.
Another day in North America added to the very first post. Today was my lazy day, so I was only on Toronto Islands.
We are finishing, after updating with Niagara Falls trip there will be just two more blogs.
Check the very first post for updates.
Dear friends,
it is all over now. I updated the list in the very first post of this thread with last two blogs. Thank you for you patience with my graphomania - I wanted to bring you there and show you Origins, US and Canada through my own eyes.
Thank you for your support, it was literary journey of my life and just because you brought me there.
Daniel, L&L Member '16, end.
Thanks for the great story Daniel. So glad I was able to be a small part of it. Hope we get to fly together again some day.
The chair near our gaming table is always ready for you, Peter
Lovely coverage of your odyssey, Daniel - glad things basically worked well for you on the trip home!
It was grand to meet you and spend time at Origins with you - it's great that the rest of your travels here worked out to your satisfaction.
Always the best,
Matt
So glad you had a good time on your travels Daniel.
I know that I enjoyed every minute of your trip following it on your blog.
Did your baggage arrive safely in the end?

Yes, it came, but I missed few thing (camera charger, three of four damage token bags that I won) and my paper materials were, hmm, unusable
But there is another journey (crazy, I know) to the north. Many greetings from Turku, Finland!
(that is even an explanation why I'm not active here right now)

Last quest from Origins '16: Done!
Dear friends,
It is a long time since I returned back from journey of my life. Almost everything was said, everything was done. Just one thing lefted...
During my visit I was surprised by my new friends who gave me a beautiful picture. You probably saw it before. Now, it is in my office, my everyday workstation and even our director admired it few minutes ago. I want at "thank you" once again. Thank you, friends.
A splendid place for a gorgeous souvenir from America
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Magnificent Daniel.
That was indeed a very nice sentiment expressed by the chaps at Origins.
