He Said:
We flew to Colorado for exactly 28 hours, which was just shorter than any other stay we'll have on this trip and was just longer than Alli's stay in the Ellis Island bathroom. We had a nice visit with everyone out there, and we're kind of lucky it was such a short goodbye. If it were any longer Alli's sister, Jen, would need new tear ducts.
We've run into a bit of adversity already, too. It seems United Airlines is at the last minute eliminating unaccompanied pass riders for the summer, which was one of Rich and Sherry's generous gifts to us. So the four us sat down before we left for Colorado and searched the web for the cheapest flights to anywhere in Europe since we really don't have a schedule. The best option turned out to be 240 dollars to Dublin, proving that, yes, there are such things as leprechauns. We leave Wednesday night at 10:30, arrive in Dublin on Thursday at 6:30am, and that should put us at the Guinness brewery some time around 7:45 - in the morning.
Cheers!
She Said:
OK, for the record, there was a line for the Ellis Island bathroom! Colorado was short and sweet. There's nothing like some last minute loving from your niece and nephew, despite the runny noses and coughing (I have never taken so much Airborne in such a short amount of time!). So we dropped our stuff at my mom's house and said, "see you soon."
As for the itinerary change, it's a good thing they make extra strength Tums! Now all we have to worry about is Chad drowning himself in a Guinness before noon.
Off we go tomorrow night...to be continued!
