Naked Ladies on Plane!!!

So we made it to Sydney...approx 6 hours to LAX then 18 hour to Sydney. As a team, we met at Pearson Airport at 3:15...well almost everyone(Ms Billington...lol). We headed toward our entry point for our flight with great excitment and even greater amount of luggage. As we waited patiently, wouldn't you know that Sue Veitch and Janet Sury somehow saw and got talking to the Bare Naked Ladies in the airport who were also on their way to LA....now Rambo made her way into the picture cuz she seem to think that they would take her to their photo shoot in LA, well she was wrong!!!

To our surprise, we didn't have seats blocked together as a team as per our request to our travel agent's. But we survived although Pfeiff was thinking about tossing the guy beside her out of the plane for touching her with his hairy arm...ewwwww. Most of us passed the time watching movies and some even cried to those movies but we're not naming names....but I really want to!!!

Once in LA we transferred fairly easily to our Sydney flight. The flight went pretty smooth and most were able to get some sleep even in their close quarters. Some were a little jealous that Jenn Granger and Andrea Pfeiff got upgraded seating because they are such a 'big deal'.

Once we landed, we went through customs and some on the team had their cleats taken away to be cleaned as they were dirty but got them back thank goodness...they don't want Cdn dirty in the Land of Oz.  We then went to our bus that is taking us to our hotel....it was approximately 10000 miles from where we picked up our luggage. Once we got to our bus, our bus driver (the australian leprechaun) was definitely a character with some very dramatic habitssssssss. But having Pfeiff rock the mic and being tour guide made the trip quite entertaining. It was especially hilarious to hear Coach Kevin ask " they make songs about big butts?". 

Once we got to our hotel, unloaded our stuff, we ran to Olympic Park to get registered. That experience took half a day in the not so nice weather in Sydney. Once we finally got that completed we were pretty tired and blurry eyed although our team won some free tickets to the Australia vs Netherlands game on Sat. thanks to Pfeiff and Rambo's trivia skills. 

We were sooo tired after our first day, cancelled our first team meeting at the hotel and had it in the subway on the way back to our hotel. Officially Day One is done!
