Hawk Nation,
I know it has been a few days since the Hawks have landed
back in the States, but it has taken this long for me to get over jet
lag. After traveling for 32 hours, it was tough getting back on East
Coast time. I think I am fully recovered and can’t believe what a wonderful
trip we all had.
I am not sure if I will ever be back in Australia, but I do
know that I will never forget our time there. I hope to be able to look
back at this trip and say that this was the starting point of a very successful
year. It already feels like we have won a championship from the way the team
bonded together as well as the educational experience afforded to our team.
The highlight of the trip for me was snorkeling on the Great
Barrier Reef. That was just an awesome experience. Winning two
games against pro-level competition wasn’t too bad either. The lowlight,
although there were not many, was the three hour delay in the Brisbane Airport. This just made the trip back to the States even longer. I am still
surprised at how many movies and how many hours of sleep you can get on a plane
in one flight.
I have thoroughly enjoyed keeping you all informed on our
travels and experiences abroad. I want to thank each and every member of
Hawk Nation for reading these blogs. I hope you all continue to follow
all 18 UHart Sports to see how we are doing this year. We need and
appreciate all of your support. Until next time, always remember, “It’s a
good day to be a Hawk.”
“Hawk Nation Domination.”
