A day and a half in Orlando, Florida.

I got an email from Derek a looong time ago when I first launched this blog and was looking for places to go. When I got to Richmond and was looking for a way to get down to the Caribbean, I saw that flights through Orlando was a good deal compared to go directly. Despite a super tight schedule this week, I managed to fly in sunday evening and visit for just about a day and a half. There were many other places and people in Florida I would have liked to have visited, but unfortunately it was not possible this time :-/

Derek has taken great, great care of me here during my short visit. I have slept in a fantastic bed (I have slept on a lot of couches and floors on the trip :D) and had a great time. In this one short day, I have slept till noon, answered tons of emails, driven a bicycle around the area, seen an alligator, eaten an alligator, trained in Gracie Barra Orlando, eaten a huge burger and then worked out in Derek’s awesome garage gym.

The training today was really good, I felt MUCH better than in Arlington, no wonder LOL Many good rolls with good guys and everyone were really friendly.

Now it is time for five hours of sleep before I head down to St. John to visit Mike and Rebecca on their boat!

Hi Christian

Where did you get that fantastic Back Patch, the Sudo Genki one? I am a big fan of his but I find it very difficult to find any of his merchandise despite the fact that I am living in Japan

Cheers

I read your blog every chance I can get, and it’s a stroke of BJJ magic that you stayed with Derek. Derek travels a good deal with his job, and on one of his trips, he came to my academy(Sound familiar?) Gracie Barra Maine. He’s a great guy, and I’m happy to see you met up with him!
