LAS VEGAS - The UNLV volleyball team will get an early start to the 2009 season as it will travel across the Atlantic Ocean for a 12-day jaunt to Europe. The team's trip will begin on Sunday, May 10 and last until they return on Thursday, May 21. In all, the team will visit five countries and play five exhibition matches and have the trip chronicled by junior Jessica Walters.

Walters' blog is now LIVE. The first installment details the travel from Las Vegas to Prague, Czech Republic.

The trip was made possible by donor and private contributions and money raised through camps offered by the coaching staff and student-athletes throughout the year. No state financing was used in the funding of the excursion.
