And we're off...travel plans changed slightly. We were supposed to fly from Chicago to New York, then New York to Dublin and get in at 7 AM on the 30th. But our 1st flight to NY was oversold so we each got a $400 Delta credit for giving up our seats and then Delta booked us on a flight from Chicago to Paris, then on to Dublin. So we went to Paris $800 richer! Ironically enough, another couple on the original flight to NY was headed home to Dublin on the same flights and they gave up their seats, too. It was pretty sweet- they gave us some advice on what we should see. Paidraig, the Dubliner, suggested that we go to Kilmainham jail, so we'll be sure to check that out!
The flight itself to Paris blew! It was such a small plane for an overseas flight. Will and I were in the 2 seat aisle side of the plane in the 2nd to last row. It was so cramped we didn't sleep at all. The only redeeming quality on the plane was the personal tvs. We played a lot of games- Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Blackjack, and Mahjong Tiles.
