We arrived!

Hello to everyone in Rochester.

The Lourdes Eagles baseball spring training trip 2010 arrived at Dodgertown in Vero Beach, Fla., late Saturday night (actually early Sunday morning). Our flights were smooth and pretty much on time. There were no problems checking in and clearing security at MSP. Thankfully no one in our party was on any FBI watch lists.

Our flight from Atlanta to West Palm Beach was overbooked, so the airline was offering two free round-trip tickets to any of its destinations (including Montego Bay) to any volunteer willing to give up his or her seat. Coach Herold looked tempted, but someone else beat him to it so he was stuck with us.

We landed in West Palm Beach shortly before 11 pm eastern time. No major snafus with the rental cars, and the almost-90 minute drive to Vero Beach was smooth. Check-in was easy at Dodgertown, and the boys were in their rooms by 2 am.
