1st Travel day

It was really exciting to finally meet up with the whole group at JFK airport, New York, we have people flying from Kauai, from Vegas, from Reno,from Oregon, from Oklahoma, from CA.
The NSA red polo shirts made it very easy for us to keep the group identified. Jim Finley has been busy video taping; all the supporters have their EUROTOUR shirt on; we took a group picture, then it was off to the gate.......
The NSA travel motto is "HURRY UP ...and WAIT"

Flight was uneventful to Copenhagen, with a stop in Iceland. Everyone got their Iceland stamp on the passport.We arrived at around 12.45 local time.
The bus picked us up from the airport and took us to the Tivoli area and the shopping street so we can get some Danish money and lunch. After that we drove to Billdal club house ... the kids were all very tired on the bus. People are realizing a Burger King meal is over $12.00 !

Billdal's new president Bjorn, Sally Ryding and her Mom (last year's NSA player) plus a few of the Billdal players greeted us at the club house. It did not take long for the players to get a new spurt of energy. They were out playing soccer on their own till way past 10 pm.

Tomorrow, we begin training at 9am.

need sleep now...
