Attention US Members: Need help with training/accomodation

Hi guys, Katana here. Or Toan Nguyen. Just making this thread and asking if there are any Sherdog members here that could help me out with training and accomodation when I go to the United States later this year as part of my holiday/training period. I am doing this as a way to be inspired and motivated to continue MMA training when I had taken two years off from it because I had to do other things in my life It's kinda sketchy at the moment with planning, but here is what I am looking at doing with some help from my travel agent.


20th-24th Dec 07 : Leave Brisbane, Australia and fly to LA, USA.

26th Dec 07 to 2nd Jan 08 : Go on Contiki Wild Western Tour, celebrate New Year's in Las Vegas.

3rd Jan 08 to 8th Jan 08 : Go on another Contiki tour to New York City.

9th Jan 08 to around 22nd Jan 08 : Go to Minneapolis to meet a friend, and possibly do some MMA training.

23rd Jan 08 to 20th-22nd February : Go to Albuquerque, New Mexico and possibly do some MMA training.

24th February : Go to LA, then take flight home back to Australia.



If any of you guys can help, I thank you very much and owe you one. PM me if that is more appropriate. Once again, this forum is one of the best on the net and many of the people here are amazing. MMA is the greatest game in the world.

Toan,

Sorry you aren't hitting down here in San Diego, or I'd hook you up at least with a place to stay, although I would actually be out of town during the time you are in LA visiting family. Good luck, I hope you can find a place to train and stay.

Hi Orsyn, thank you for the offer. I really appreciate it. I guess it's ok man. I will find something. Better to try and organise everything half a year before it happens.
