Arrived in Amsterdam about 11pm (Dutch time) and the flight isn't until the morning.  Really helpful lady has pointed me in the right direction of the extra comfy seats in the departure lounge, so that I can go for a sleep, but I thought I'd get this started now when I saw the computers...

Got a lot of mixed feelings about going back to Brazil...Can't wait to see my friend Julia, who is the main reason I booked this flight!!  Peer pressure - lol!!  We worked together there last year, and we'd made a pact to stay for New Year 2008, and I broke it and left (not entirely through choice), so now I'm making that up, by going back to meet her for the big party before she heads to Melbourne.  Also have quite a few other friends I can't wait to see, as well as there being some other people I know who are returning for New Year.

The mixed feelings I guess are with the way I left last time - not on the best of terms with the person who had been employing me.  She basically had views I didn't agree with, and I guess she didn't agree with me not agreeing with them...to put it as basically as possible!!  Not one to like having bad feeling, I did write to her months ago when I was back in Scotland, but I received no reply, so not sure if she'll be welcoming me back into the Carioca lifestyle!  Ah well, we'll see what happens!  I'm not back to see her anyway, just to have a party with my friends!!

I can't wait!!!
