Imagine if you will, driving through the Arizona Desert with the windows closed, air-con off, heating up to the max., five guys in the car and the searing sun flowing through the windows; welcome to Car Sauna..!
This past weekend has been Memorial Weekend, this has meant that a three day weekend was given to many of us. Most of the other guys from the course had only arrived on the Monday, so hadn't really hadn't done much in America. With plenty of zeal, we decided upon a roadtrip. The next question remained; where to go? The options on the table were LA, San Diego, Vegas or staying in AZ and doing stuff in and around the State.
After much deliberation and many frustrating phone calls to the 'Hotels' and car rental companies. It appeared we had a car and rooms booked to set off early on Saturday morning. Estimated off blocks time was 0745hrs. We didn't leave until 1200hrs..! With 9 of us going in two cars, the haphazard manner of planning and execution meant that the cars were not where they were meant to be and the payment had not quite been confirmed.
So, we set off , slightly annoyed with the complications, but nonetheless we were on our way. There is nothing quite like a bit of Road trip Banter; two cars, nine guys..! We were racing through the desert , singing rugby songs, playing car sauna and plenty more..
Once we arrived in San Diego, we tried to find our hotel. After asking in one hotel for directions it emerged that we had inadvertently booked into the San Diego YMCA..
Two nights in San Diego and a day at the beach..!
