Cairo, via Frankfurt, via London....

The second World Cup of the season commences Thursday in Cairo. Due to funding cuts, our team wasn't attending. However, my local coach and I requested a spot that we would self-fund. We are flying standby as Denis, my coach, works for Air Canada and it can generally reduce the cost of flying substantially. Flights this time, haven't quite gone as planned. Things started out great - Calgary to Frankfurt, had 4 seats to myself, so I slept well and it was smooth sailing. However, in Frankfurt, our Cairo connection was overbooked and we were left without a seat. It seems we should have had a spot, but they agent's made an error in who they let board ahead of us. In any case, we took a flight to London and will fly to Cairo in the morning (assuming no other issues arise). It isn't really a big deal as we'd be paying for a hotel either way.... Although London is bloody expensive. The other downside is we can't really train at all here, and I feel laaaaaaazy. Training actually wouldn't be possible either way as, on top of everything else, our bags are missing! Oh well, take everything in stride. I'm adjusting to the time zone and relaxing so some good has to come of it. That's it for now. I'll keep you posted.
