Grand Canyon and Beyond 30th October 2009

Wow is an understatement when it comes to describing the GrandCanyon.

Breath taking views leave you in awe of the power and beauty of nature.

Spending the last week and a bit with my friends traveling from Texas thru New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and now SanFrancisco has also given me the understanding that happiness in life is about who you spend your jouneys with more importantly than the places that you visit.

This trip is primarily about strengthening US ties with Navsports but is equally about strenghtening my friendships.

Marcelo, Telma, my brother Mark and me have travelled over 2200 miles since Texas travelling hours and hours in a car during the day and spending nights together in one hotel room to save money and enjoying the sites together have been an amazing experience.

A sobering thought for me as I write this blog is that my wife and two year old child are over ten thousand miles away in Australia without me.

I skype them every day and message with text and photo updates two or three times a day, this is no subsitute for not being there and I miss them very much. I cannot wait to have them in my arms.

In a short five days I will be boarding the plane for the 14hr flight home, I will take with me many things besides souveniuors and memories, I will take home a new sense of direction not just for Navsports but for my life. The people that share your life are the ones that matter the most .

I wrote in earlier blogs that even though Navsports is pre revenue, it was already a success.

Navsports has brought together people that have a dream and belief that if you have a little faith that more exists than what you have now, you will find it.
