Before the travels

Hello, I am John's Backpack and I will tell you the story of his travels.

He hasn't started yet but is very excited about going. He leaves on Monday November 23 at 7:30 local time to leave for the London, Ontario airport en route to British Columbia. One of his friends, Janice, is going to give him a lift to the airport.

I hope the security people will be gentle with me as John has entrusted me to carry his laptop, video camera and iPod. Together, we hope to send you some video from Victoria BC by November 25.

Until then here is a little video that Gail took at John's home.

Ciao for now!

    Hey Red Backpack, will Jack be accompanying Janice on the drive to the airport to bid him adieu? I'm quite sure Jack is very jealous of you right about now. After all, you're taking his best play buddy away and you've got ALL of his attention. Come to think of it, I'd check inside my backpack if I were you. He just might have left you a nice, little surprise!

    Hey Big Red, It's probably a good thing that Jack won't be going to the airport with you. He'd probably guilt you and give you the evil eye all the way there! How uncomfortable would that be? But we all know - and this includes Jack - that you're going to take good care of John.... you've got his back! Haha :)

    Have a wonderful journey....I just know you will!

    Hey Red Backpack,

    So, you're officially on the road - or should I say in the air. I hope you and John have a whole lot of fun! Watched that game last night and YES, the Roughriders are going to the Grey Cup. Will you have a chance to watch?

    Bon Voyage!
