First I must say it was a memorable trip, everything went very well ... Thank you all for your warm welcome, were all very cordial with us.

Here is a story of what we have lived.

We leave Buenos Aires on Tuesday May 31 night, we were all very expectantly for what we were to live...

We arrived at Miami airport on Wednesday June 1 in the morning, we had some knives in the suitcases and other knives had previously sent.
We left the airport and rented a large van where seven waved .. all happy and content, a luxury vehicle compared to what commonly drive here in Argentina.

We went to remove the knives that had previously sent to a Miami apartment and we found inconvenient, knives had not yet come .....
We hope all day the arrival of the postman on the apartment door, until finally at 18 pm the postman arrived with our long-awaited package.

We took the package and we expected a long trip to Atlanta,

As you know, our main piece in the Blade Show was a Cut and Shoot, to be safe, we decided to carry unarmed, half mailed and the other half got along in suitcases.
We had to set-up everything in the hotel, hoping that nothing goes wrong and everything goes well ... Luckily there were no setbacks and Javi could put everything together perfectly.

We were 7 and we had prepared a table for 8, had the honor of sharing the table with the president of the Association, Kevin Jones, whom we are very grateful for your kind gesture dinner with us.
