US Open Update 2

"Howdy". Just seen my fair share of cowboy boots and hats.

Verrry nice!

Safely arrived in Dallas, Texas after our first two legs of the flight. Nice dry heat. Not like what I am anticipating in Florida.

So - Just one last flight to go. Local time it is around 4pm but feels like 9am of course. Just had some kai and gonna board in another 40min or so.

While hours of shut-eye achieved on the way to LA by my team-mates varied from 5-6hrs to non-existent everyone is in high spirits and looking forward to some R&R when we arrive in Orlando for sure.

Nothing too eventful to report from our trip so far. I was trying to think up some exciting story but don't really have anything for ya'll...

If you haven't experienced it recently though - US customs are fun!

They seem to up the number of finger prints and scans they do each time I come through... guess our group DOES look a bit dodgy.

Security guard 1:

"What kind of sport team are these guys anyway?..."

Security guard 2:

"Let's see... a hyper muscular dark one, a tall lanky one, a carnie one..."

Security guard 1:

"...maybe they do competitive circus routines?"

Security guard 2:

"Yeah! That would make sense. That's gotta be it."

...Anyway! today we had all four fingers on right, thumb on right, all four on left and thumb on left and then a little photo shoot for border control officer "Garcia" who was actually a really cool guy.

Couldn't help asking Steve if he felt like a real criminal now considering we got him to wear his "criminal hood."

Finally I just thought I'd also just confirm / amend our return time as:

WEDNESDAY 8 JULY at 730pm rather than Tuesday at that same time as per my last email.

Oh - and I hear you ask

"did I get my heroes farewell at the airport that I wanted?..."

Carl:

"What do you mean my mum doesn't count?!" :D

Peace out from Dallas, Texas
