Good morning Michigan! We arrived last night after spending 1 1/2 hours on the smallest plane ever, there were only 9 rows. There were 7 people on the flight. Adam, my partner, and Chef Kevin, our coach, made endless jokes about the size of the plane. For 3 hours all I heard were jokes like "the plane is so small they need to have an even amount of people on each side so it doesn't dip to one side". Harharhar. It was actually quite amazing how many they were able to come up with!
When we arrived we were met by Chef Angus Campbell, the US team's coach, and a organizer of this competition. Right after we arrived at the airport
we ran to the other gate to meet team Scotland and team Barbados. We all headed back to the hotel where we checked in and were giving these:
I love goodie bags. This one was filled with all sorts of stuff. A hat, pens, candies, chips, water, pop, maps. It was like a Christmas stocking. I could get used to this competition business!
We spent the evening getting to know some of the other teams as this competition is also about making contacts and friendships.
Tomorrow we have time to get comfortable in the kitchens we'll be competing in as well as do some exploring and take team photographs.
I have full internet access in my room so hopefully I will be able to keep you quite up to date!

Sounds so cool, R. I bet the most fun part is learning how others are getting their stripes in the industry. Have a riot - I'm sure you will!!
