Arrival in Asnieres!!!

Finally!!! After many months of planning, I have touched down in France. For those of you who have never travelled to Europe from Edmonton, it can be quite a trek. A nice little four hour plane ride from Edmonton to Toronto, followed by sitting in a plane on the runway in Toronto while Air Canada figures out if we have the right cargo on board, a nice little seven hour cruise accross the Atlantic....and I have arrived.

So needless to say, I'm a little jet lagged. It's almost six at night and my body thinks its 10:00 am. Should be a fun night (think I'll sleep much???).

Moved into the team accomadations where I will be living at least for the first month of the season until my beautiful wife joins me in on the eastern side of the little pond. Met a couple of my new teammates as well (The Fins - Tommi and Mikka). Mikka's girlfriend (Annika) is also here with us. We broke bread together and Annika volunteered to do the dishes for the boys. The Frat House has been established!!!

More to come later.
