Hooray I am officially on holiday as of the 4th August until the 15th August 2009.

My plan
Spend time soaking up the sun in Durban and take it easy and meet up with some Twitter folks from Durban.

The Flight
This has been the longest flight to Durban via Port Elizabeth lasting just under 3 hours. I have lost hearing in my right ear due to the change in altitude. This ear popping sensation lasted for 20 minutes of the flight when we were descending altitude and preparing to land in Durban.

Too Legit to quit!

2009-06-04T13:00:00.000-07:00

I have been reducing the amount of cigarettes I smoke for the past two weeks in the vain hope of quitting smoking all together.

Well last night I smoked my last Camel filter and I had a long dialogue with this cigarette about how this habit was not adding value to my welfare, my relationships and my health.
So today is Day 1 without nicotine, I have been quite busy at the office that kept my mind occupied.

Lets see how far I go with my quest to be a non-smoker.
Wish me luck.
