Us in the Grand Canyon
Back dating this particular post so it fits chronologically. This was taken in the Grand Canyon when our helicopter trip stopped off for a picnic by the Colorado River.
Night on the town
So we were all back from the chopper experience. I decided to leave my glasses somewhere in the chopper area. Thankfully a quick call and they were willing to drop them back to the hotel. I have to say, I was bricking it for a while there. Sure while waiting on them to bring them to me, we decided to hit the bar and have a drink or two. I only had prescription sunglasses on, and they came in handy. Especially as the buxom waitress waited on tables. That girl had no shame. 
So it was only the one pint, before we headed for a siesta, Tony worked on the blog photos, and myself and Paddy hit the sack.
1:24AM as it is now typing this, tells us the alarm was set wrong and we have not headed out. a few quick showers, a check on hooters opening hours (its closed 
) and we are off looking for some soakage before hitting the LAX nightclub.
We were supposed to post before this, but sorting out the multitude of photos is a bit of a chore. Expect the first set and intro blog to go live first thing tomorrow.
Darren X
Ole
Saturday saw myself, Mark, Ro, Paul and Co travel to England for the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer testimonial at Old Trafford. We’d been looking forward to this for ages. The guy has been a model professional for United and is truly a legend for myself and thousands of other United fans. The day went really well but it was a long one. We had left Dublin early on Saturday and by the time we’d had a few drinks in Bolton later that night, it was 1am and I was set for bed.
The game itself wasn’t amazing (testimonials rarely are) but I was delighted to pay tribute to a guy who has done so much for the club. He got an amazing reception when he came on with 20 minutes to go and rightly so. Ronaldo could learn a lot from him in my opinion. He had a chance to transfer to Tottenham in 1998 but decided to stick with United even though moving would have guaranteed him more first team starts. He’s now coaching the Reserves team at the club and I’m delighted he’ll still be involved in the future.
We arrived home around 5.30 on Sunday evening whereupon I had a quick trip home to change and head for Darren’s birthday bash in town. I’ll leave the full story of what happened for a seperate entry later on cos I’ve a few photos to upload.
Friday Photo – Reflecting on the Triathalon
Took this along the side of the Moy on the way home after last Saturday night in Ballina. It was Paddy’s first river swim so completing it was quite a big deal. Fair play to the lads though, they all did really well. A shot of the triumphant trio is attached below the fold:
