Trip to Russia/Armenia
Published October 9th, 2010

Well it has already been a long day and I am not even out of the country yet. I am going with the United States wrestling team to Russia to wrestle in the Intercontinental Cup in Khasavyurt, Russia and then to Yerevan, Armenia the week after to wrestle in the Stephan Sargsyan tournament. But the trip started at 4 this morning when I woke up to drive to the airport in Harrisburg, PA. After I arrived in Harrisburg and got my tickets they only gave me two tickets which got me to the La Guardia airport in New York, and I was flying out of the JFK airport in New York to go to Frankfurt. I guess I did not really read my itinerary right, even though it was quite confusing because it took a while to get my tickets and it was pretty difficult getting me to where I needed to be since I live in State College, PA. So the lady told me that I would have to get to JFK by shuttle or taxi, which was fine because I have plenty of time. I was not really happy at the time because I did not want to have to switch airports since my day was going to be long enough already. But after I got to my gate and cooled down I realized these things happen when you travel and just like wrestling you are going to have obstacles. So it was not the end of the world. So I am finally here in the JFK airport waiting for my flight to leave to Frankfurt where I am going to meet the rest of the team and then we are all going to travel together to Russia and get ready to wrestle!
