I must be doing something right

VikingPhotography · 30-05-2008, 17:29

The photo editors at ESPN are sending me off to Vegas again in July

- don't think I'll be quite ready for the 100+ degree heat.. not to mention that I'll be travelling around the weekend of 4th July, so airports and roads will be heaving.

This is a prime case of "be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it"

Congratulations! Of course I'm not jealous at all.

Charlotte · 30-05-2008, 19:19

JMitchell · 30-05-2008, 20:09

simpbow · 30-05-2008, 20:24

Good stuff VP, keep it up.

P-E · 31-05-2008, 07:12

Weather proof, perhaps... toxic, polluted waters...

you get my drift.

I'd also like to say thanks to everyone for your kind words; I'm in the midst of packing for UFC 85 in London right now (flying down tomorrow morning), and I have a job on in Edinburgh this afternoon at 5pm - it's all a bit of a whirlwind, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Congratulations

. Do you need help with your bags? I could carry them for you

I don't need help with my bags, but if you happen to know someone who has a good cure for jet lag, put them in touch:

Glasgow International > Newark Liberty
Departs 09:00 GMT
Arrives 11:35 Eastern Time
Flight time: 7hrs 35 minutes

Newark Liberty : Las Vegas McCarron
Departs 17:20 Eastern Time
Arrives 19:55 Pacific Time
Flight Time: 5hrs 35 minutes

Total outbound travelling, including connection time: 18hrs 55 minutes

And now, the return hop

Las Vegas McCarron > Cleveland, Ohio
Departs 07:00 Pacific Time
Arrives 14:03 Eastern Time
Flight Time: 4hrs 03 minutes

Cleveland, Ohio > Newark Liberty
Departs 14:55 Eastern Time
Arrives 16:53 Eastern Time
Flight Time: 1hr 58 minutes

Newark Liberty > Glasgow International
Departs 19:35 Eastern Time
Arrives 07:30 GMT (+1 day)
Flight Time: 6hrs 55 minutes

Total return travel time, including connection time: 16hrs 30minutes

Combined total travel time: 35 hours and 25 minutes.

I'll get to my hotel at around 9pm on the Wednesday, then it's straight to work the next day

Pre-fight press conference at around 1pm on Thursday
Weigh-in day events between 1pm and 5pm on Friday
Fight night between 4:30pm and about 10pm on Saturday
Post fight-press conference runs till about 11pm
Transmit images... about another hour
Back to hotel - quick kip for around four hours... then off to the airport

So - anyone still want to carry bags or assist?
