Tuesday night was the begining of our big adventure. The start of the first leg of our journey saw our flight to Paris delayed by one and a half hours, this meant that we missed our departure to Buenos Aires from Paris. Air France put the team and management in a hotel for the night enabling us to catch our re routed fight to Buenos Aires via Atlanta USA. The new route was made up of two nine hour flights with a wait in Atlanta of 5 hours.

Once we arrived in Buenos Aires and a journey across the city to Jorge Newbery airport one day later we were informed by our airline, Lan Chile, all flights to Mendoza were fully booked until Sunday, Our first game was 6.30pm on Saturday.

With our backs to the wall we remembered the two private planes we had seen when we entered the airport. After looking through the yellow pages we asked a nice lady in the tourist information to make the call to the charter company to ask “how much for 14 people to Mendoza”. Once we got up off the floor we looked at the figures and decided to charter the plane and so the adventure has continued.
