First day in Florida

It is about 4:40 local time. We started the day with breakfast at 9:30am. Then a couple of the girls forgot toothbrushes so I took them down the street to Walgreens. Then when we pulled out of the parking lot, the van died! Josh came and picked the girls up and took them back to the hotel and I stayed with the car waiting for the car rental company to bring us a new car and for the tow truck to come. Had a new van in about an hour an a half....just in time to go get the girls and head to practice at the convention center. Both teams had a really good practice and look ready to go. We saw McKenzie Willey there...she originally made our Select team but then she made the national training squad so she has been training with them here in Ft. Lauderdale for about a week. Ironically enough, her team is the team that our Youth team plays first thing in the morning so that will be a lot of fun. They have posted the schedules for all the days on USAV's website. Here is the link: http://usavolleyball.org/content/index/2818

To find our teams use these codes...the Youth teams code on the schedule is IMY and the Select Teams is IMS. The Youth team plays at 8:30am (vs. USA Select Gold) and 3:45 (vs. Ohio Valley). The Select team plays at 12:15 (vs. Southern California) and at 5:45 (vs. Lone Star). I will post live results after each set for each match via cell phone...no internet access in the convention center. Wish us luck!
