OLYMPIC DREAM COME TRUE

yeah!!! That’s Selim and I in first class

BEIJING DAY 1 – August 6/7 2008

 

After running my last minute errands in the morning, I met my teammate and dear friend, Selim Nurudeen at LAX to take our flight to Tokyo. We are about to be Olympians! I suggested to Selim that he change his seat to sit next to me because I had gotten an exit row and there was no one sitting next to me. Everyone who we talked to in the process was super excited that we were on our way to Beijing for the Olympics. The bug is in the air and everyone’s catching it! We were so excited when one of the check-in agents decided to bless us by upgrading us to first class seats! WOW! In our excitement we couldn’t help but think that this is the beginning of what will prove to be an amazing experience. We thank God and pray that our athletic performances and event experiences will prove to be more of the same… A blessing.

 

10 ½ hours flew by in relaxation and video entertainment! I gotta do this first class traveling more often! wink

The second flight was not as exciting since first class was full and we had to take our original middle seats toward the back of the plane. But it didn’t matter… I was on my way to the Olympics!!! Whoo hoo!
