Day one - The Journey to the land of the free


Not a huge amount to report on today as we’ve spent most of the day flying. One thing that Mary and I established pretty early on was that we’re quite bad at navigating airports. Luckily the folks over here in America are incredibly welcoming and really friendly which is a great departure from slightly less friendly London.

After touching down from our third flight of the day we were met with open arms by debating guru and Sam Nelson, the coach of Cornell and also by Alex Just, an alumni of the US Tour and a general good egg. There are also other familiar faces down here too. Ali Cormack, Alumni of the 2007 and Chris Croke, the current World Champion both of whom happened to be in New York at the same time.

After being introduced to the Cornell squad we were informed that we would be judging at the Binghamton 2010 Debating Tournament
