Hello Everybody!
First I’d like to wish you all a superbe 2009 full of acomplishements in all aspects of life and lots of health!
At the beginning of December me and my coach Alina Tecsor traveled to Las Vegas to work with once again with Gil Reyes for 2 weeks. As I’ve said it before, he’s an incredible man who helps me a lot and I’m very hapy to have him in my team. There (Las Vegas) I had the chance to meet Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf again.
I mixed work with fun both during the daily training but also in the evenings. I went to see the famous Cirque du Soleil show, the Mamma Mia musical, kart racing and rode the Vegas roller coaster. It was very beautiful there and I also improved my shape.
I spent the Hollydays at home with my family, a very rare thing for me, but I couldn’t enjoy it fully because of the busy training schedule and then I left for Australia on the 5th of January.
Right now I’m in Sydney for my first tournament of the year and I have NO LUGGAGE. Ever since I left Bucharest it waz crazy: I had a stopover in Paris where, due to heavy snow, the airport was shut down for 12 hours. It was an unbelievable chaos!
After waiting forever they put us on a Singapore flight instead of our original route through Hong Kong. In Singapore we missed the connecting flight to Sydney because our plane was delayed in Paris and had to burn another 4 hours in the airport waiting for the next flight out.
All in all the trip to Sydney lasted two days instead of 24 hours and, on top of everything, our luggage were lost. I’ve been here in Sydney for 4 days without luggage which is extremely difficult. I sweared I’ll never fly Air France again and I’ll advise youy the same. Tomorrow I have my first match here and hope for the best.
Untill next time (hopefully i’ll get my luggage by then). I wish you a very beautiful winter.
