Home again...

I really am a homebody! As wonderful as my trip to Ireland and the Making a Difference Workshop was, I really missed being home....

The flight from Dublin to JFK was amazing. There were only 86 passengers on a plane that seats 190, so I had 3 seats to myself, as did lots of others. There were enough couples who sat window/aisle and had a seat in between that everyone traveling alone had 3 seats to themselves! The people in first class must have felt crowded if they ever deigned to look back in coach!

Payback came in the form of a 45 minute delay, for no reason announced, in the luggage from the flight. I finally asked a woman in an American Airlines blazer what the problem was. She got on a phone and the luggage started down the carousel before she hung up. Some luggage handler must have forgotten to flip a switch or something....

The flight left Dublin at 9 a.m. and I was home after waiting for my luggage by 2:30 p.m. It's great to get the five hours back I got robbed of on the way over.

I'll blog several times this weekend about the time in Ireland. See you then....
