Going to Sweden!

We're heading to Sweden on Friday Dec. 1- should be a great time. I will try to post here as much as I can, but we will also have a team blog set up at: www.wntabroad.blogspot.com

After coming back from a nice Thanksgiving at home and then jumping straight into work and practice on Monday, I didn't get a chance to pack until late Thursday night. I *think* I have everything- at least the most important things (passport, shoes, uniforms). We have to carry so much stuff with us because we have to have all of our Nike sponsored gear. Not that I'm complaining about having cool stuff from Nike, just that it can a lot to cart around!

From the looks of things on weather.com, it looks like the weather will be fairly mild while we're in Stockholm. Maybe some rain, but the temperature will stay above 40. Not bad considering the sun is setting at 3:30pm and we'll be really close the arctic circle!

We're scheduled to have our first practice on Saturday a few hours after we arrive. Ugh! Hopefully I will do what I always do and sleep the whole time on the plane. Even still, I'm not sure I'll be in the best shape for running around, especially since we'll be under the direction of one of our "guest" coaches who are hardcore Scandanavian former-Olympians! Wish me luck. Hopefully I'll adjust quickly to the time difference so I can be on my game :)
