| The Western Canadian youth team competitors |
Well, the team's all here! Or at least those of us from Western Canada are. I can't speak for those that are flying out of Toronto, but we will all meet up in LA and then make the 13-hour flight to New Zealand together. As you can see, we are all decked out in our Angus finest.
A few weeks ago (as if we needed another reason to be excited about this trip), we got packages in the mail from the CAA with our new Team Canada jackets and golf shirts for the agrisports competition. The shirts were ordered in case the weather was too hot to wear the jackets, but judging by the emails we have been getting from CEO Rob who is already over there, maybe we should have ordered matching mittens! Apparently it is snowing!

Although it sounds like many of us were too excited to sleep much last night, everyone is looking wide awake and excited to get on the plane. Although no one seems that excited for the many hours we will spend on a plane in the next 48 hours, everyone is ready to get on with the getting there. We are quite excited about everything from seeing their cattle and scenery to networking with Angus breeders from across the world and bungee jumping! Everyone is packed and ready to go and we are all prepared to represent Canada well once we get there. And just to let everyone know (because I know there were some of you who were concerned) I managed to pack for the two weeks in one suitcase that weighed in at 49.6 pounds!
