The flight from Atlanta to San Fran was great and that's coming from an inexperienced flyer that hates to fly. I was told it was good that we were on the wing, helped with stability, but limited our view down below. I will take that trade-off any day.
The view was great. I hope to have photos soon loaded on this site and another one as well. It is amazing to see God's country that high up. The Rockies were incredible, neat to see snow in June.
We arrived in San Fran and met up with some AIA staff then headed off to our host family. The Craig's are very nice people and extremely open with their home. They live in a beautiful section of California called Gilmore....garlic capitol of the world according to the flags and signs all over. The fruit here is amazing as is the weather. Mid 70's and no humidity. The landscape is something I have never seen before, photos to be loaded soon.
We had a staff meeting earlier this morning and then prepared the bags for the players. They will arrive on Wednesday throughout the day starting at 9am going until about 5pm. It will be a longday shuttling them from the airport to the their host families, but will give some time to start building relationships.
We had our "last supper" tonight with the other members of the staff. After tonight the guys come in and the fun starts. Remember them on Wednesday as they fly in from all over the country. We have a great group that seems to be passionate about lives being changed and baseball. What a great combo!!

Glad your flight went smooth. I hate flying as well. Spoke with Rook and he was excited to meet up with you and the rest of his teammates.
How about those Cubs!?!
Glad everyone is safe and sound, have fun.

Moms and Pops said you made it safely. Glad that you guys are enjoying the ride so far. Camp starts on Sunday and then full blast all summer. I have the next 2 days off before campers arrive...so I have a Honey-Do list a mile long including mulch for the new flower bed we just created out of 1/2 of our front yard. Some how I hate mulch from, what seems like, years of spreading mulch around the house each summer.
Tell Tammy, Kirk and Kaylee "hello" from NC. I'm looking forward to some Alaskan Salmon coming my way soon for the grill so tell Kirk to get the rod fired up. Send some "non-humidity" our way...it is unseasonably hot here now.
As Hillary C. just said on the newsbreak..."I've got to go, for now".
