We have arrived safe and sound. Almost smooth sailing except for Kim's bag not arriving with the rest of ours. She believes she jinxed herself last minute when Miranda told us that at the airports in Turkey she has known of people having things stolen from their bags, so she threw them into her carry-on before checking in. The front desk also thought that when the bag arrived at the hotel at 1:45am that Kim would really want her bag in the middle of the night.....
So far everything has been great. Dr Doug had a great meeting with the head chef at the hotel and an in-depth tour of the kitchen and we have been given the green light to eat everything they serve us. Its always a little shaky changing our diets when we travel and some people on the team have very sensitive stomachs. (not naming names, but you know who you are) The hotel is top notch, we are all on the 14th floor and have a great view of the city, it really is a hotel for the rich and famous! Marcel and Joanie have plenty of room to treat us all and we just finished up a "Roger that Session" in our team room which is spacious and comfortable.
Today we had our first of three practices before the games start. Can you tell we are counting down? Ahh we just want the games to start, I know everyone has been thinking about this tournament since October. Every practice is one step closer to our dreams. Our practice today was where we are playing but in the "practice" gym. The entire building is an amazing facility. It really reminds me of an NBA facility but brand new. The locker room, weight room, practice gym were all great, but the main floor was unbelievable. We are all excited to practice on it soon.
Well thats it from our end.
Go Canada!!!!
Nice one.!!
