Softball "finally" gets to Florida


My name is Erica Castro, I am a sophomore on Softball team and I'm here to journal our
experiences so you all can get an idea of how things are down here in sunny
Florida. Today at 5:30 a.m. (yes that is correct), we loaded our coach bus and
left from RWU heading for TF Green Airport in Providence.



With everybody tired, our team practically slept on the airport carpet until our
plane boarded at 8:30 for our 8:50 flight. We flew to Chicago Midway for the
first half of our long day, and after flying back in time, we then boarded
another plane bound for Fort Myers Florida! "Finally!" which I am almost
positive was everyone’s reaction.



After landing in Florida at 4 p.m., completing our long 11-hour travel day we then
headed to our hotel in Cape Coral and settled in with the team. Following our
relaxation period we went to dinner as a team, our first of many meals together
this week.



Sunday is our first day of practice in nice Florida weather and the start to our spring
training. I will continue to blog about our experiences here as the week goes
on. Enjoy the rain back up north. Until tomorrow...
