N. Ireland - Day One, Friday

It all started on a dark and foggy night......

And that's why our trip took THREE DAYS!

It was hard saying goodbye to the kids at the airport. They did great. I cried when they walked away, of course. I believe in leaving your kids. It helps them to be secure. But 11 days is a l-o-n-g time. We're so grateful to David's parents and our parents for keeping the kids during our trip.

Because of the extreme fog, our flight out of Indy was delayed about 2 hours. Unfortunately, that got us unto Atlanta too late to catch our transatlantic flight to Dublin. So we were stuck in Atlanta for about 24 hours. We got a fantastic priceline deal online for a hotel for the night and got a good night's rest instead of sleeping in the airport.
