Dear Canada,
Jess, Erin and Amanda here, to tell you about our adventures over the last two days. To start our blog it is best to go back to June 19th, the day our dreams came true. This was the day we had discovered we had made the Indoor National Team travelling to Venezuela to participate in the World Cup Qualifier. Fast forward to August 5th, when our adventure finally began; we met at Pearson Airport, emotions running high as we said goodbye to our families. Being the youngest three on the team this was going to be a new experience for us. We loaded the plane and headed off to Atlanta.
In Atlanta, joined by two more members of our team, we exchanged gifts to pass the time. You could feel the excitement building amongst the team as we entered the plane heading to Caracas. Finally reaching Venezuela we headed to a hotel for a good night sleep! After a great breakfast we headed back to the airport for the final stretch of our long journey to Barquisimeto.
After the long waits at the airport, a magic show from Cregan, crazy bus rides and team bonding we have finally arrived and are off to our first team practice. All three of us are ready to give it 100% this week and represent Canada!!
Talk to you next time,
Jess, Erin and Amand
