Bruce drove us to the airport in Omaha and Adam rode along to the airport so we’d have some time to visit with him. We left on schedule, we got to the airport in great time, checked in our bags and ourselves, and went through customs etc. without trouble of any kind.
We flew out on schedule and were crammed in the plane for our flight to Chicago. We had limited time to make the long walk to the gate where we were to board, but we walked fast and reached our area in plenty of time. We boarded the plane for Dublin there without incident.
We settled in for the long overnight flight. The United Airlines served us a tasty supper, breakfast, and beverage. On the Dublin flight, there were 3 seats on each side. Verle sat in the aisle seat, I was in the middle, and a Nora from Chicago, who is an Ireland native, sat in the window seat. It was fun to visit with her – she returns each year to visit family. Her husband died 10 years ago.
The flight to Dublin was an overnight flight, but I barely slept all night.
