JANUARY 5TH

Finally have a ticket booked, so I'm heading out January 5th, arriving Jan 6. All I can say is god bless Aircanada and free upgrades. I'll be posting more as the day gets closer and try and show you the amount of gear I get to haul around. Those in the TV business have experienced the "glamour" of humping 7 or more road cases through various airports and customs check points. That's it for now will try to update this as often as I can.

I got a new gig!

Hi everyone!
You may remember me from such blogs as: acton's afghan adventures.
Well I have a new adventure to blog about.
The low down is that I have a new job with Global National.
I'm going to be opening the Beijing China Bureau along with Ben O'Hara Byrne.
Ben is the face I get to try and make him look good. It's a deal that runs a little shy of
3 years. We will be covering China and Asia for Global National and working for a current
events show that the Network is starting in January.

So right now, I'm sitting around waiting for a visa, but hope to be on my way in or around Jan 4th, 2009. The gear is trickling in and I'm working a couple of days a week for the Ottawa Bureau.

So as I tie up the loose ends of my life and leave my loved ones behind I'll be posting some photos before the big day but hope to keep people in the loop on my life as I take on this latest challenge.

So cheers for now and see you on tv.
