Kickoff

So I've decided to join the world of blogging, and figured I would try to share and document what "traveling" is for me in my line of work. So I'm hoping to share what is one of the most chaotic, stressful but ultimately one of the most enjoyable parts of my job; Travelling around the country with a college softball team.
The 2011 softball season has officially begun. We left Maine in 2 groups at 4am and 645am yesterday, one group out of Portland and my group out of Bangor. Splitting into 2 groups was as most logical rational people would conclude, was due to an inability to find 22 seats on one flight. However we were informed by a man in the Bangor airport that this was actually in case we crashed, then at least some of the team could keep playing. ...... Annnnyways, after stops in Detroit and Memphis, we arrived safely and rather uneventfully here in Lafayette, LA. Picked up our rental cars, quick hotel check in, nice dinner and then back to the hotel to pass out. All in all probably the smoothest travel day I've ever had with this team, but Im sure the universe will make up for it somehow. Games today at 130 &630, go blackbears!
