From Carl van Roon in LA

Just taking this little break to send out a quick email! Not much time!

It's 3.30am here and our team and support unit are all just waking up to catch our flight out to Canada from LA - the team is gradually shuffling into the foyer... a few tired looking faces - moans of desire for coffee and more time to sleep are heard every now and then...
I imagine it must've been something of a challenge for most of our contingent to even consider rousing themselves from their comfortable hotel beds after yesterday: a group of 12 or so senior competitors including myself thought we'd make the most of our time here in LA by jettin down to Hollywood Blvd in a private shuttle.

You'll have to ask us about our crazy driver Steve sometime - needless to say he wasn't the most politically correct of characters which made for a pretty "sweet ride" to the walk of fame (you know - the one with all the gold hollywood stars along the footpath.
Even got a shot of Chuck Norris Star for his No.1 NZ fan... or was that impersonator? - Cam Snelling... )

Anyhow hollywood was good and now it's pretty much time for us to catch our flight - getting pretty busy down in the foyer now. Looks like it's time to check out.

To French Canada we go! - Bon voyage!
Kia kaha.

Carl
