Not the frist day we expected......

2 tickets to Dublin, Ireland, via JFK, New York

..............Exciting!

5 hour flight delay, after waiting on and off the plane for 3 hours

...............Exhausting!

Dinner for 2 while on the runway at 9:30pm

...............Priceless!

Well, our trip didn't get the send off that we were hoping for. Our flight was scheduled to take off from Cols. @ 4:45pm. We were on and off the plane and the runway 3 times, before they finally cancelled it @ 10:00pm. Needless, to say we missed our connecting flight to Dublin @ 9:00pm. So here we sit waiting for a 12pm flight to JFK......hoping to get out of the country tonight. We lost one day in Dublin, and they will not refund our room. After a chance of a minor meltdown, I have taken a positive look on things. St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Guiness Factory, Trinity College, and the Book of Kells will all still be there tomorrow. They are not going to grow legs and run away. We will just have to be a bit pickier about what we see, and a little swifter on our feet while we do it. We are both exhausted after 8 hours at the airport yesterday, and not looking forward to an 8 hour layover in JFK. But Ireland better look out! The Theiler's are hell bent on getting there one way or another :)

Until then, just breathe.
