Hello again, Salt Lake City

I am back in Salt Lake. Yesterday was a loooong day of traveling. I got to JFK at around 10:20 for an 11oclock flight, thinking I was okay, but then they wouldn't let me fly because my bag wasn't checked a full hour ahead of the flight!!!! grrrrr. So i had to wait in the airport half the day before my five hour flight. What a joy. It was okay though. I found some very interesting people and slept and explored JFK. COle picked me up at the airport and took me to the store then to the apartment. It is just Johnny, Cole and me in this sweet apartment. I have a whole room to myself with two twin beds to choose from. The bathroom has a really nice shower and the apartment is a four minute drive from the rink. I am at the rink now, just watching and checking things out. I will be skating with the FAST team, not the National team. It is in effect the tier II team here in Salt lake. I want to skate with them to get my bearings here at altitude and also because they have a plethora of really strong skaters that are my speed or a little faster at the moment. It should be a lot of fun!
