Here we are in Charleston, SC. Our trip yesterday went extremely well, and I can’t complain. The drive to the burgh was clear and traffic was smooth, our flights on time, and finding the hotel very easy. We stayed right down the road from the arena so after grabbing the last of ‘chain’ food we’ll be eating this week we headed up the road to the game.

While the Chiefs lost 4-3 against the Stingrays we had a good evening. Goals came from Hildy, Soucy and PL. Things started off slowly with some of the same stumbles and fumbles that we’ve been seeing lately, but the guys started to pick it up and fought to the end of the game bring us back to 3 goals and making a darn good play at tying things up before the buzzer. I do have to pass my kudos along to the fans here in Charleston. I’ve always been one to reply with a “there is a jerk fan in every city” to complaints from visiting fans or my experiences in other cities where someone has had something smart to say to visiting fans – but I’ll retract that for the Stingray fans. Everyone here was VERY friendly to the point of overly helpful and considerate. I’m looking forward to coming back here on Sunday.

Today we took to the city of Charleston: walking the streets, taking in the architecture, taking a horse drawn carriage ride, and consuming decent grub at TBonz. There are a few more things planned for later this evening, but that is a whole other blogging event. Until then, it’s time to rest my feet a little bit.

Sadly, it looks like Richard Paul was traded to Asheville now. *grr* So much for getting to see him play again. At least he IS playing again!
