Day of the signing, off in a week!

So, first of all I began trying to tweak the blog and have added a slideshow of pictures and a link to my online photo album. I will be adding more photos soon. Blogger seems quite easy and straightforward to use and I like it.

Yesterday I had the signing of the contract with AirMalta, which will take me to Brussels next week to begin the road to becoming a pilot. Finally my lifetime dream is coming true! I will be training at Sabena Flight Academy (SFA). I will spend approximately 8 months in Brussels, covering the theoretical part and then head off to Phoenix, Arizona USA for 6 months of flight training. Then I'll go back to Antwerp for the final part of the training to get my licence and then go back to Malta. After some further training, I'll be sitting in the right hand seat and getting paid to fly!! Isn't that cool?!

I'm looking forward to start but I know it will be tough as well. It's quite a long time away from home, my family, my cute little nephew, and most of all my girlfriend. I know I'm going to miss her and all, definately. We'll see how it goes! A year and a half will pass and I'll be back, and by then I'll be flying!!

I'm off for now! Till then, keep on rockin' ;-)
