Touch down in US of A















It was a wet and cold morning in Christchurch on Thursday 31st August. We spent the morning going to Auckland and the afternoon looking for shorts for the team (oh and getting a two dollar massage from a strange chair - see above).

Then we hit the Auckland international airport for goodbyes and last minute money exchanging.
Then a 12 hour 15 minutes to San Fran. The flight was forgettable instantly and went on about 11 hours too long.

After clearing customs and picking the luggage we had some confusion with the coach pick ups. we got sorted, thanks Silverado coaches. Then a short drive of 4 hours ! to the hotels. So we are checked in, checked out the shopping malls, grabbed some food and now we are looking forward to some sleep !

First training tomorrow for TAH boys, some of the contingent have a had a few days on the water already. More tomorrow with more pictures, might even get a bit of a video together.

Love to all our family and friends back home and our thoughts are with you.
