Well I have officially arrived at the starting point of the world race right below the Texas border near Matamoros, Mexico. I flew into Houston on Saturday and had the chance to stay with an old friend that I met in Florida, Sara Christy. Her dad, David, is a private pilot and so he offered to fly me down to Harlingen, Texas to meet the rest of the team on Sunday.
It was such an awesome way to start this adventure of a lifetime. It was really neat to get the chance to fly down there in a small plane. And David also even let me fly a little bit as well as teaching me a little of what there is to know about all the gauges. I have always been interested in flying and have loved learning knew things. I wish I could have had a little more time to spend with them, but it was a great little short visit.
It was also so great to see all my teammates, the ones that I had met and all the ones that I hadn’t got to meet yet. It feels great to be back with everyone and I am really looking forward to the year ahead.
Thanks David and Sara for such an awesome start to my trip it was great seeing you..
