Tampa bound

Off to Tampa this weekend to visit my friend from round-the-corner back home. Jon works for a civil engineering firm up there so I am going to see what it's all about. We are planning to go to a baseball game....

This means that I'll miss the football game this saturday night but that's ok.... as I've already complained about heaps, the game goes forever! and watching the cheerleaders does actually get boring after a while! Although I was looking forward to this game cos it's a night game and we were planning to drink..... the day games you dont really want to drink at cos it's soooo hot....

Have a good weekend everyone! Thank you all for the comments on my blog! You guys make me laugh....

Jetskiing

Forgot to mention that I went on my first Jetski the other day!! Luckily I went to South Beach with a large group of my British friends - all girls.... These guys were at the beach with their new jetskis and they offered all the girls a ride (no suprises what they were doing this for) and I got a ride too yay!!) It was amazingly fast, we went up to 70mph, which is damn quick on water! It was quite bumpy too! I don't understand how you would be able to ride it without falling off, I can't wait to drive one myself! Maybe we'll meet Will Smith while we're here and we can go back to his house in the keys and ride his jetskis, just like in the song!

Claire met R-Kelly! She was excited until I told her that he had been convicted of something dodgy involving children or something!

peace

Football and Football

First home game today against Colorado, we won by a mile and it was lots of fun with the cheerleaders and big band playing and of course Sebastian!


It's a great game, just takes a while to play. Today's game took 4hours.... the actual game time is 1 hour.


Hooters in Coconut Grove. To get a top for Salina!


Looking a bit tired last night under the cool Forster's sign while watching the AFL final which started at 12:30am....

First ball of the innings, George to Treadway

Hurricane was such a non-event! We were locked down for the night with special excursions downstairs with supervision for the smokers.... The lads played indoor cricket in the hallways with a rolled up newspaper bat, then moved onto a squash racquet. We taught the Americans how to play.

There is a plan to go on a cruise to the Bahamas in the next few weeks and also I am going to visit Jon in Tampa at some stage soon. I'll try and get some cricket action shots up soon!! hehe

Here we go again!

Another Hurricane! yay!! Except this time we aren't allowed to drink! :(

Finger's crossed we don't lose power like last time! I don't think we could handle the dark dingy aptmosphere again!

We are all safe inside our hotel! I'll post when we regain connection to the outside world! hehe

Second game vs Clemson

We won!!

Second game of the year for the Canes vs Clemson and we won in third overtime!! so exciting.

We went down the 'rat' which is the on-campus bar to watch the second game and were 'well-excited' as the brit's would say. We were really worried as Clemson came back from 10points down in the last 7minutes to tie the game. Then there were 2 scary overtime plays (both teams get a chance to score from 20m out from goal) which were both tied. Then in the third we scored a touchdown and converted which sent the rat nuts.... then as Clemson came forward their pass was intercepted by a Cane which ended the game!! yaaayy!! Can't wait for next week for our first home game!!!!

In other news, Sam has bought a massive inflatable killer whale to take in the pool, photo's of the whale and our dolphins putting on a show soon! hehe. Also Braden is organising a trip which may include visiting me in Miami and us travelling together! Hiya Braden!

More as soon as I have photo's!!
