Friday March 30th ....the Day before the Big Competition

Today was a busy day in Belfast. We started with breakfast with the gang and then stright to practice. The dancers had a great practice almost 2 hours long. Then it was straight to the City Center to go shopping....

The plan was to meet in an hour and catch the 2:00 City Tour Bus. Well the shopping went a little longer than planned so a few of us missed the 2:00 and caught the 2:30 bus. The tour was an hour and a half and that was long enough....very informative but a little too much talking, even the tour guide told us that ?

After the tour we went straight to the Waterfront Hall where Worlds will be taking place. It is gorgeous and I was only in the lobby, I can't wait till we see the auditorium tomorrow. We picked up Jessie and Macaela's dance cards and the photo id cards. Unfortunately they put Macaela Bardley-Tse on the first one, yes the first one and I have just noticed they have spelt Macaela incorrectly on the second one , Macela. So I guess we will be lining up again tomorrow morning for a third attempt at correctly spelling her name.

After the Waterfront it was back to shopping, we assisted Courtney with a few pieces...so much fun! Then back to the Hotel for a little sit down rest and to curl Macaela's hair for tomorrow.

We are doing something a little different with her hair and she is also going back to a bun wig....so check in tomorrow for her new look.

We had dinner tonight with the gang and now we are back in the room. Another coat of tanner is on and a little game of Boggle for Macaela and now her nails are getting done. Lights will be out soon as we will have a 8:00am wake-up call in the morning to go for a good breakfast to start the day off right.

We are hoping for a good nights sleep and lots of positive thoughts and dreams. Thank you to everyone for all the support, comments on the blog, cards , texts and very special mementos that were sent with us. We are so lucky to have such a great support team, we hope you know how much it means to us to have you all cheering for Macaela and all the dancers.

Till tomorrow.....
