Finally muddled through all the drama of yesterday, which included leaving the tourney hotel for a better one. And scrambling to find a place for the upcoming days due to our housing folks having to change their plans. Which I hope we get to see them, they are amazing folks that we met last year and had much fun with.
Trying to find a cheap hotel to replace "free" isn't easy when you didn't plan to pay. Since we don't have monetary support, a change from a free place to stay to a rental is a big deal for us. Let alone it happening 24 hours prior to the stay....not much available is cheap. So, I have spent much of my evening and morning trying to find a way to make it all work. Even considering driving home and just coming back for the Daytona tourney. Unfortunately, that plan would make Natalie use her one and only "withdrawal without penalty" for the year, and the year just started. Or at least I think she could use it, if not then she would be fined. Either option not a good one.
For now, we are set at new hotel till tomorrow. We continue to network in hopes of finding housing or a good cheap hotel. Or maybe a money tree will root in the trunk of my car so that Natalie can focus on tennis and not the drama of yesterday!
Now for the business at hand...or should I say....the entire reason we are in Florida....Natalie's job....tennis. Natalie and Asia will play third on after nine today....which of course is code for....3ish. They are seeded #2 for this tournament and will face the wild card team of Leob and Santemaria. A fellow American team that is tourney ranked 2000+. Our team is tourney ranked just above 300. Please follow the link below for live scoring:
