Say Goodbye To Monaco

Well all good things must come to an end.  And so it is with my brief stay in Monaco.

Following 2 exciting days of covering the IAAF World Gala of Athletics and interviewing some of best Athletes (past, present and future) in the world it is time to set sites on Doha, Quatar and my work with the Asian Cup organizing Committee.

The IAAF World Gala is much like the academy awards of Athletics.  Celebrating the greatest moments of the year, reliving the dramatic highs and lows and continuing to celebrate those who were pioneers.

Attended by over 600 people and presided over by His Serene Highness Prince Albert the II of Monaco, the Gala was a once in a lifetime opportunity.  Thanks to the IAAF and YN for forcing me to come.

To the athletes I had the privilege of talking to - you are amazing.

To the Country of Monaco which is so easy to fall in love with - We will be back.

To my new friend Wilson - Keep the dream alive.

To Ben - only four more sleeps til daddy comes home.
