No "I" in TEAM

On the eve of our GSE starting tomorrow I thought I'd jot down a few thoughts about our journey so far.

There is no "I" in TEAM.

What there is though can be seen in the following:-

MET - we began our journey when we MET a long time ago now at the selection day and we've put in all the preparation to get this far.
EAT - seems to be what we do around here. From airline food at odd hours to breakfast and lunch at diners, pizza after the broadway show and a fabulous Cuban lunch.
ATE - just about everything, especially the BBQ corn cob with chilli and lime at Habana's
E.T.A. - so far our ETA's have been realised. The only exception was Amanda's luggage which didn't make the flight from LA and we waited a further 20 minutes for it to turn up.
AT - NYC for a couple of days R&R before we set off to New Hampshire tomorrow.
Ea - we EACH have our own experiences so far and will certainly develop futher as we proceed
ME - The only variation of "I" that we each see as deriving a huge benefit from a GSE exchange but careful to ensure we are as one.
MAT - of the "Welcome" kind I am sure will be put out for tomorrow after Linda and Chris' efforts over the past few months preparation. Thanks guys!
and of course there is MATE - which we have become and sure to remain always.

Looking forward to more postings shortly.

David, it must have taken hours for you to come up with this little gem. Very Philosophical - jetlag I presume.
Sounds like a great start to the trip. Hope New Hapshire/ Vermont are ready for you all.
Have fun
