I was staying at my friend Claire's house,she lives
in Ireland,for the weekend.The next morning we got up at 6:30 knowing that we were going to Sligo!We were so excited!After
we got ready and had our breakfast we went on the internet and emailed the Record Room saying 'expect two mad Westlife fans
in your shop today!'We left Claire's house at about 8:30-9:00!It took about 3 hours to get to Sligo.While we were in the car
we listened to Westlife and looked through our Westlife files.
As soon as we got to Sligo we went to get some drinks and we went to Hazelwood.we
were stood in exactly the same place as where Mark was stood in the Westlife story!We had a picnic there, and as it was my
14th birthday the week after Claire and her family got me a birthday cake and sang happy birthday to me.The swans kept chasing
me,it was really funny.After we had our picnic we wanted to go to Mark's house as it was close by.We could'nt find it but
we were on the right road.
We went into the town centre and parked up the car!We went into Morgans
first,where Gillian and Shanes sister Mariead works!we went in and me and Claire couldn't decide who was going to ask if Gillian
or Mariead was there and then my mums mate who had come with me asked!The woman said that they werent there!
After going into Morgans we went to the Record Room!When we walked in we went straight up
stairs and while we were going up we were like 'OMG!Look at that Westlife poster!'We bought loads of Westlife stuff!The guy
behind the counter told us that he lives a couple of doors down from Mark! We got pictures inside the record room with all
the westlife stuff!Then we went downstairs where all the CD's are!I bought the I.O.U single,Queen of my heart single and Unbreakable
single.When we wnt to pay for them the guy behind the counter,Aidan, said 'was it you two who emailed me this morning?' And
we were like 'Yeah!' He told us where Shane Kian and Mark lived and where Summerhill College was and he gave us maps of Sligo
and some Westlife postcards!We thanked him and we got a picture with him!
We walked around Sligo for a bit.We went into a toy shop and they had
a Shane doll so i bought that and a Shane,Nicky and Mark CD Rom card!Then the bit i was most looking forward too,WE WENT TO
SHANE'S HOUSE!His house is huge and all his horses were out in the fields.Shane wasn't home.We posted letters in his letterbox,we
got some stones from his driveway and read the westlife speech down his buzzer.We got pictures outside his house.
After going to Shanes house,we went toKians house!We were told that Kians
house was the middle house.When we arrived,the middle house door was open and we were like 'OMG!Kians at home!'We rang the
doorbell and a woman came to the door!We asked her if Kian was there and she told us he lived at the end house!We asked her
loads of questions before we went over to Kians house!We knocked on the door but no-one answered!We posted letters and Claire
posted a tweety-pie towel because Kian likes tweety-pie!We took pictures of his house and car!
We went back into Sligo and started looking for Summerhill College.It
took us ages to find but we found it in the end.We got pictures in front of it!After that we went to the Four Lanterns for
something to eat!We all got chips and a chicken burger which is what Kian gets when he goes in there!After we had our dinner
we had to go so that i could get my flight back to Manchester!We asked directions from a man and he had a gorgeous Irish accent!
On the way to the airport we listened to Westlife again and talked about
what an amazing time we had!It took us another 3 hours to get back to the airport!I said goodbye to Claire and her family
just before we got on the plane!
GOING TO SLIGO WAS THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT I'VE EVER HAD AND I WILL NEVER 4GET IT!
