We have been on the plane for 6 hours now and my butt is dead! The trip was worth it tho, we had lots of fun. Strange movie they are showing something about "stolen time"
It is now 26.5 hours after we got up to start the trip home and we are finally at Brian & Jill's house in the Twin Cities. Bed time!
Long day heading back to Dublin. We left New Ross around 10 this morning and headed towards Dublin, about a 2 hour drive. Arrived in Dublin about 3 after wondering and making couple stops. The two stops of note were the Piper's stone circle and the Russhouse (sp?). I saw the sign for the circle as we passed it, this was after we had made a couple side trips looking for dulmens (sp?) and other attractions seen on brown signs. As we went by I realized that in Ireland they put the sign at the beginning of the trail to the site, not before it and for sure not before the turnoff to the site. So I found a place to turn around and we went back and parked in front of the farmer's field gate. We went in and walked through the field of mama sheep and new lambs to the top of the hill where the circle of stones is.
The next stop was the Russhouse where we had lunch and talked with the candle maker. Then in to Dublin around 2 or 3. We went through the city to avoid the M50 and the toll on it. Around 6 we got to the airport. :) Check in was a breeze, but then we had to deal with the stupid way the Carlton has their internet access setup.
Tomorrow we are off to home!
I tried to post two things this morning and got interrupted while they were saving. Now I can't open them to do anything.
Well we made it through TSA in Minneapolis without Jan being restrained. In fact it went very well, they were very helpful and friendly. It only took about 15 minutes from the time Brian & Jill dropped us off for us to get our boarding passes and go through security. The next stop was a restaurant/bar where we had wine and a bloody mary. Wine for me. Met others there who are from SD. And the bartender knew people in Watertown. Much more relaxed now! Walked the concourse and now heading for our gate to watch people.
