Lift Off?

I don't think it's appropriate to say 'lift off' when I'm only yet on the ferry but I am in motion and mentally I've lifted off.  It will be long time before I next see a bed. YVR to Calgary and then Calgary to Amsterdam and a 15 hop across to Birmingham.  Gonna get the recipients list sorted out soon. Would love to know if you're receiving an email to say there's a new post??
