Our trip to Glasgow

On March 22nd we left for Dublin at 12:30 p.m. en route to the World Dancing Championships in Glasgow. We arrived in Dublin airport, checked in our bags and went upstairs for something to eat. We had a look around the shops and at 7:20 p.m. we departed Dublin for Prestwick airport. After arriving on time we got the train from the airport to Glasgow Central Station.
From there we walked to the Travel Inn hotel where we met all of our friends and team mates. We were feeling tired and it was quite late. On Saturday morning we had a practice for the 16 - hand. In the afternoon we got taxis to the Clyde Auditorium where we danced at 5 p.m. There were ten teams competing and we were delighted to come in 4th place. We lined up on stage and were presented with our medals. On Sunday we got up at 5:30 a.m. We practiced at the auditorium at 7a.m. and we danced at
8 a.m. We were placed 8th and 12th out of 57 teams. Amy and Elizabeth took part in the 8 hand reel. We had a party that night that lasted... . very late! On Monday we went shopping in the city centre. Some of us bought stuffed teddies in "Bear Factory". We took a taxi to the station and a train to the airport. Our flight left at 8:10 p.m and we arrived in Dublin twenty minutes ahead of schedule (8:50 p.m.). We collected our baggage and went home. We arrived in Kiltimagh at around 1:15 a.m. We enjoyed our trip to Glasgow and we would gladly go again.
