We all decided that some team bonding was in order before we set off on our trip! In order for the “special” bond to form we need to have a team night in ! So all the girls came up and stayed in a few of the girls houses in Dublin where the bonding began......
It was an early start.... 5am! Make up, straightning of the hair and last minute packing had to be done! We caught the 6 o clock bus to the airport and we were bang on time for our 7am meeting at A.I.B. Huge smiles acorss all 18 girls ... including coach Lisa and Jenny! With all money exchanged to dollars and everyone ready to go we check in. A few team members decided to start the trip off on a exciting note. Siobhan and Karen’s passports did not read on the computers. Karen pawned a few pins and tshirts off and before you know it both of them were through customs.
34 bodies later and the Irish delegation had cleared customs and were USA bound. Both teams then went through security and got a bite to eat on duty free. Once again ,meeting at gate 307 to catch our 10.30 flight to JFK. Everyone getting more and more excited as the time went by.
The flight took off on time at 10.30 with EVERYONE on it. A very important, competitive game of battle ship took place shortly after between the guys and the girls. It was an intense and challenging game but thankfully the girls came out on top....this was followed shortly by some fab plane food and our own personal home theatre, all it was missing was the popcorn for desert.
