So my bags are packed - except for the last addition of cosmetics, and all my paperwork is printed out, including boarding passes. Other than a few last errands today, and bill paying, I'm pretty much ready to go. At least I think so! There is always that last minute detail that comes up and needs to be taken care of.
It's an early to be tonight as I'm being picked up by the shuttle before 5:00am. Southwest Airlines to Midway through Las Vegas - maybe I'll strike it rich during our short layover! Then a transfer to O'Hare and American Airlines for the overnight flight. I know that sounds strange, but there are no direct flights from LA to Ireland. And with airline miles, this trip was virtually free. So for a little inconvenience, it's worth it. Just hoping for some sleep time on the flight from Chicago to Dublin as the next day there will be no nap time in order to quickly adjust to Ireland time.
We will land in Dublin Wednesday morning, pick up the rental car, exchange enough money to get started, and be on the road. Most of the B&B's where we are staying have Internet access, so I hope to be posting a blog at least every other day with some pictures. If I can, I'll post more often, but pub time comes first, so there may be some delays! :)
I'm also going to try and use tripline to map our trip. It does show "as the crow flies", so not necessarily the roads we'll be traveling, but you'll get an idea of our location. I'll post the link on the side bar of the page after our first day and it will update as I add locations.
Now it's time I get moving and get those last minute things done. As I post this, it's just over 20 hours until our first flight leaves. YIKES!!!
