Hello from TP (Travel Pig)

Hey guys and gals !

Travel Pig here.  I see there have been a few editions to the notification list for Tony's blog so thought I had better introduce myself, especially as it is now less than 24 hrs before we leave for the USA.

I was introduced to Tony in 2007 and traveled with him on his 2008 trip.  I often travel with some of Tony's mates and have probably been round the world 5 or so times.  My guardian, who coincidentally is currently gallivanting around Turkey and Ibiza, has often threatened to make a web page of my own but has never really gotten to it.  He helped a friend create a webpage for some second-string NRL team but has failed to do my own.  I may have to outsource that !  I can be seen in a few photos from Tony's last trip - Singapore, Moscow, Stonehenge just to name a few.

Tony is currently still asleep on the couch.  We have today to do everything he was too lazy to do before.  Nothing really important - only PACKING, CLEANING etc.!!  I am pretty sure he hasn't even thought about packing at this stage.  If he doesn't get his fat behind up soon it will be all left to me to sort out !

For those who may be a little worried that Tony will be traveling alone, don't.  He is totally unaware but I always had an eye out for him on our last travels.  Those who have read his blog, or those who go back and read it, may remember or find a few instances where he was a little out of his depth.  Being ripped off in Moscow is one that comes to mind.  I was well aware of what was going on but thought it best that Tony learn a valuable lesson.  I will be keeping him safe again.

Well looks like he is finally stirring so I had better make sure he gets everything done.

Bon voyage !
