August 20/09 – We finally get to the airport, almost getting stuck in traffic but still making it an hour before boarding time. We than check in finding out that we are over weight by $750 dollars .. We take apart our luggage throwing out clothes and items that aren’t essential. We make our weight down to only $ 250 dollars and decide that will have to do. We get to our gate just as the our plane is boarding. We have a good flight to Calgary, quick stop over; not getting off. And fly out at 11:00 from Calgary and arrive at 4:00 after an 8 ½ hour flight. We both became sick after a turbulent landing, Jay threw up numerous times. We met up with Dimitri- Jaysons head coach, we pack in tightly all of our possessions in his red ford car. He drives us to jay’s new home, the Asnieres hockey area.
We met Christophe Cuzin, the president of the Asnieres club. We view the rink and jay drops off his gear. We than say goodbye to Dimitri and head with Christophe to our apartment. By now you can see that is already an overwhelming experience but as we go inside our blue door heading to our apartment on the first floor to the left I am a little apprehensive to see what is held inside. There is a little living room, a couch of sorts/cot and a nice black table, a little TV filled with only French channels, a “closet” where we are suppose to put our life of 9 months worth of clothes. You than look up to find our bedroom, a loft maybe 6 feet from the roof where our bed is on the floor, and to get there is by a wooden stairs that can be folded up and down. You than walk into a another room where there is a little narrow kitchen with a stove top, no oven, microwave, fridge, and a washing machine. There is cupboard space filled with kitchen supplies already and a little fold up table and chairs. You than walk through more doors and find a bathroom, pretty big; with a sink and toilet, shower.
