We arrived safely at our hotel on Monday night, our hotel is directly across the road from disneyland. Tuesday morning we broke up into three groups and made our way through all the lands which make up disney. After a full 10 hours on our feet riding every ride from Space Mountain through to the teacups we crashed into bed. Day two was another
full day at the new California Park which is a new disney park and included
in our disney tickets. This morning the team hired a bus and went on
our own tour and included Venice Beach, Mans Chinese theatre (where
the handprints, footprints, and stars on the footpath are) In between our travels we struggle to keep Jessica and Harmony out of the shops, the older boys all sport tattoos (false ones for the concerned parents) along with a couple of new piercings for the older ones. We are all struggling with the drastic temperature changes between Puerto Rico and Los Angeles. The average temps in Puerto Rico were around 35-37 degrees and exceedingly hotter inside the tournament venue, nighttime temps were still around the 28 degrees. Los Angeles tems are around 20 degrees during the day and down to 10 at night. Quite a few have runny noses and or colds. We are off to Universal Studios tomorrow with free time on Saturday morning before we make our way to the airport for departure back home in the afternoon. See you on Monday

Harmony and Jess and most of the females are now earning gold medals in shopping (I'm going to pay for that comment). Team did the haka for Master MacCallum at closing ceremony - brought the house down. Better go - thanks to all for the good wishes on the net. See you soon. Grant

"Ed: we don't know exactly who competed in Team events - but usually at a World Champs ALL members of a female or male team will be given a medal when the members of the team take a place in any event."

We
said goodbye at the airport in SanJuan to the Skinner/Niven/Mills group
and the Diggleman group. The rest of the team were making our way slowly
towards home with a short five day stop over in Anaheim.
