and....we're off!

After having spent most of Friday night awake with excitement and packing, we caught the Kim shuttle to the Duf at 5:30 am to begin our day of traveling to Puerto Rico! We took a CUA shuttle to the airport and all made it safely through security, the (much needed) coffee stop, and snack shop onto the first leg of our flight. We dozed and chatted throughout the first ride through the air to Charlotte and then after a brief layover, slept most of the leg from there onto San Juan, Puerto Rico and what was described as "this beautiful tiny little land from such a faraway place!!"
.
We are very excited, and pumped after all the "good luck!" and friendly comments from people throughout the airports! It is so WARM here! We were picked up from the airport by a very nice guy named Frank and a bus and shuttled to our wonderful hotel only minutes away. We walked in in amazement to a wonderful lobby and absolutely gorgeous hotel. Eight floors and a lobby full of palm trees and suntanned people! We're going to have a blast! After a quick change and some wandering and exploring, we all met in the lobby for dinner and fun at Outback.

Tired after a long day of excitement and traveling, once we finished our delicious meal, we retired for the evening to our comfortable beds and a wonderful sleep before our first busy day of practice and adventures. Here ended day one...
