Pre-Trip Thoughts

[Photo Gallery: Suburban court in Sunshine, Victoria - Throwing down some Dunks (Jan 06)]

I'm getting really excited because I plan on leaving Australia 40 days from now to head over to the US!

My club BigV Pre-season with Melbourne University has being going well and it's a bit disappointing to be having such a good summer preparation with no intention of actually playing the season due to the overseas move.

At this stage, we (my girlfriend and I) are looking to arrive in Los Angeles in mid-April 06 (after a few weeks in Malaysia). Then it's straight to Venice Beach to live out the Billy Hoyle White Man Can't Jump dream (hopefully i'll manage a few show-court runs pending the locals).

We plan on starting our trip in the West Coast and spending our 3 month visa's moving progressively East before finishing in New York City so along the way, I will probably hook up ball in Chicago, Utah (with my mate Nige) & New York!

Hopefully, Irene is going to take photo's of the streetball in the US. Here's some she took at a Street Court in Sunshine, Victoria during January 06.
