Sunday, 10/16/2011 - Somewhere Over the Atlantic

Boeing 757-200, @ 36,000', 492mph, just approaching Newfoundland, 1335miles to go. Just woke up from a bit of a snooze... that last double Bailey's on the rocks will do that to you. :-) 

Our ride back to the US - B757-200

In the gate 108 waiting area

On the plane just before taxi

Slan tamall, Eireann!  (See you later, Ireland!)

Waiting for our ride home just outside Terminal C

The Roses... my incredible travel companions...  Welcome Home!

Has it really been 9 days?  Feels like we just got here a few days ago... what a terrific adventure!  Pretty sure Mom enjoyed her birthday adventure to the homeland with us.  Was great fun, saw everything for the first time, met and got to spend precious little time with wonderful family, enjoyed the local beverages and cuisine, weather was mostly great, people friendly great places to stay and, I didn't hit anyone or anything while driving in country!

Going back to the land of reality. Lots to do at home... I'm not going to look at too much work related stuff until tomorrow.  Still need to safely land, deplane, pick up luggage and have Terry's Taxi pick us up and take us back to Long Valley where this trip started and will end.

I've enjoyed putting down my thoughts about our experiences while abroad.  Apologies for lagging behind on the blog the whole time, blog followers... hope you enjoyed following along and checking out some of the many photos we took and memories we now have. 

Until my next blog... May the road rise up to meet you and the sun be always at your back. (pretty sure I'm butchering the actual 2 Irish sayings :-) )

Go n-eiri an bothar leat! (Safe journeys!)
