This ten day trip lands us in three places. First to Dallas for the weekend for a USAB Coaching Academy, then to Las Vegas for a youth clinic and Coaching Academy, and the following weekend in San Juan, Puerto Rico at the invite of FIBA for Don to help with players and give a coaching clinic.
DALLAS
Sorry, no pictures. Two days for Don in the gym and rainy weather kept me inside.
LAS VEGAS
The USAB Senior Men's Team was practicing in Vegas to prepare for the World Cup in China. Don enjoyed several days of attending practices. Then it was time for a player's clinic at a Girls' and Boys' Club and the Coaching Academy. I enjoyed our stay at the Wynn and spending the day at the pool. Shade was a necessity as it was over 100 each day!

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
Friday evening we took a flight from Vegas to Houston and then to San Juan. We arrived in San Juan at 5:30 am Saturday! We are staying in a beautiful, five star hotel: Condado Vanderbilt. After a quick nap Don was picked up and headed to the gym to help with the players. In full disclosure, I slept until 11:30! I headed out to the pool overlooking the beach. Beautiful weather! We ate out with the FIBA group at the Meat Market. Sunday Don had a break during the middle of the day and he joined me at the pool. He headed back to give a two hour coaching clinic. We had the evening to ourselves and enjoyed eating at a restaurant across the street from our hotel.
We were scheduled to fly home on Monday afternoon: San Juan to Chicago to Colorado Springs. Monday we were notified by United that weather in Chicago would affect our flights so we decided to stay in San Juan an extra day and return on Tuesday using the same flight pattern. It was a GREAT extra day! Don was done working so we spent the day on the beach relaxing. Little did we know that weather would again affect us on Tuesday. We ended flying getting to Denver and taking an Uber home Tuesday (actually Wednesday morning as we arrived back in COS at 2:30 am!)
