Sporting events along the way

There's a whole load of events in today's world, from fairs, to concerts and festivals, to parades that will take place while we travel and that we will make an effort to go to... but let's face it, we are all crazy for sports! And since it is now in my line of work, here is a list of sporting events that will happen during our trip and in countries we're planning to go to (or might eventually include) that might shape our itinerary in one way or another:

Rugby World Cup 2011 - New Zealand (9 September – 23 October)
2012 Australian Open - Australia (last two weeks of January)
2011 Copa América - Argentina (July 3 - July 24)
2011 Melbourne Cup (Horse Racing) - Australia (November 1)
2011 Dubai World Cup (Horse Racing) - UAE (March 24 – March 27)
2011 Hong Kong Sevens – Hong Kong (March 25 – March 27)
2011 Caribbean World Series (Baseball) – Puerto Rico (Beginning of February)
2011 Australian Football League Grand Final – Australia (End of February)
2011 Final Bledisloe Cup Match (Rugby) – Hong Kong (End of October)
2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup – Colombia (July 29 – August 20)
2011 FIFA Club World Cup – Japan (December 8 – December 18)

FIBA Americas Championship 2011 – Argentina (August 27 – September 8)
2011 Pacific Games – New Caledonia (September)

It’s not in any particular order (except for sailing being in last), just a bunch of info collected from different sources.

Air BNB

encontrei este site com sitios para ficar em casa de people pelo mundo. É tipo couch surfing mas pago, pode ser uma maneira interessante de encontrar sitios para visitar.

Pessoal vão começar a contribuir ou que?

Lets kick this shit off!

Guys,

We need to keep the momentum going on the RTW trip if it is going to happen, be all that we want it to be. Thet implies that we start planning and joining material which we can use to stencil out the trip.

In will we go we need:

-Ideas of places to go
-Ideas of parties/events to go
-Travel tips
-List of freinds where we can crash along the way
-Random inputs

It can't be me doing all the work if this is gong to be productive so get your act together and make sure you input and comment the posts. I will work on getting the google document sup so that we can organize the stuff that we come up with here.

This is my first input, stumbled into it a few weeks ago:

Off TOPIC.- FUCKING PROUD COACH!

Today is just one of those days where you get the sense of satisfaction and fulfilness over something that you put a great deal of energy and effort in to. MAN it just feels great to have steered and taken from 0 a guy who today came 4th in the world...

This is a fucking massive cherry on top og my sailing cake!


Had to post this here as anywhere else too many people would see (anyone else think that older people/work colleagues and familly members have kinda screwed up FB)
