It's An American Thing

After an adventure travelling we have arrived in Torsby. Here's a run down of the travel of the last few days. Flight to Newark was super fast, and on a tiny plane. By tiny plane I mean like one seat on one side, and two seats on the other. Then it was really easy to get from terminal to terminal cause as soon as you walk up the gate from the plane there was a big banner directing you to the shuttle to terminal C. Got there and met up with Roleigh, Kelly, and Afton , as well as Aftons mom. The coach met us after we boarded the plane. We then flew to Oslo , no I did NOT sleep on the flight yes my life DOES suck right now. We then sat in Oslo airport for a couple (4) hours.
We then got on the Shuttle to come to Torsby. LONGEST bus ride of my life as we weren't allowed to sleep (to help adjust to the time zone). It was a ridiculously fun drive though, and they've already decided that the theme of this trip is "its an american thing," (a jibe at how I never know whats going on).
Yes, you did note an absence of many team members. Roleigh, Kelly, Afton , Casey, Conrad, and I were here early. Grace, Addie, and Leif missed their flight in Munich and didn't get to Oslo till late last night. Ethan's flight was delayed and he didnt make his connection so he's getting here later today.
Oh, and Conrads rifle is stuck somewhere in Germany , but dont worry, we're expecting it soon.
We've been equipped with almost all of our gear, which is really exciting. Though as someone pointed out, we all look like Smirf's, because this years team color is Turquoise.
We went out for a ski earlier today and the trails are fantastic. Everything is amazing, and you get to see all the teams skiing too. They all speak differant languages so its cool to listen as you ski by.
