This part of the adventure began last summer when our basketball team was chosen to be featured in a PBS documentary being created to cover the 2009 National Senior Games being hosted by Stanford University in California. There was a filming team which shot a lot of footage in Louisiana preceeding the competitions. Our basketball sponsor, CELADRIN, flew me down for the weekend for filming. Then, during the Games, they filmed every minute of every game. It was a really tough and exciting competition with us coming from behind to win in the last minutes of the last game. But now, with the final feature presentation coming out in the spring of 2011, the crew is wanting more footage. What could they possibly want to get on film? Anyway, I leave in the morning for another all expense paid trip to Louisiana. I'm leaving amazing 75 degree weather with a breeze off the ocean and flying for ten hours to stay in 100+ degree temperature. But my teammates are amazing, hilarious women and I know it will be another weekend to remember. I thought I would share it with you.
Today I will start my trip with drive to Victoria which is 2 hours. I'm helping my younger sister get settled in Assisted Living. I will stay at my Mother's vacant condo. She passed away earlier this year and we are about to list it. They say that "due to heightened security it is recommended you check in 3 hours prior to departure", but if I got to the Victoria Airport at 6:05 AM, the only one there would be the night watchman. Traveling as often as I do with my sports teams, I know that I can check in 40 minutes before departure and have no worries. I take all my stuff in a carry-on...even if I go for ten days.
