I woke up at 3:30 AM to do laundry for the trip. I finished my laundry, packed, and got down to my Jeep with plenty of time to spare to get to our meeting place at 6 AM.
From our meeting point, both the Men's and the Women's teams took a bus to the airport. It didn't take long to get through security and check in.
Our boarding passes had SPN/FOOTBALL/TEAM printed on them. How cool is that?
So naturally we stuck them on our heads and took a picture.
The flight went by quick, both because Guam is only 120 miles away and because I slept the whole way. We were met at the airport by officials from the Guam Football Federation, who loaded us onto a bus and took us to the Fiesta Hotel.
Today was mostly a day to relax. I took a nap, then joined the Men's team for lunch, then took another nap, and woke up in time for practice.
At lunch Coach wouldn't let us eat dessert. Here I am lamenting his decision:
And here is a shot of the Women's team after their practice this afternoon:
After practice I went with Mark, Yosh, and Pete to the Factory Outlet Mall to get a new pair of cleats. The soles on my old cleats fell off during practice today. I picked up a new pair of Copa Mundials for $89.
We got back to the hotel in time for another team dinner, followed by our final team meeting.
We'll know the winner in less than 24 hours. I'll post the result as soon as I get back to the hotel tomorrow night. It should be around 8 PM Chamorro Standard Time.
