Snow In Ireland

Hi all,

I know it has been some time since I have updated everyone but nothing really exciting has happened.

So the only report I have is that on Monday it snowed here. Well everyone thought it was wonderful they are running to the window looking out and taking pictures. It was rather funny to see how people react to snow. Of course I would only call it a dusty since it didn't stick as was only maybe a quarter of an inch.

Things are going great here and the time is really flying by and before you no it I will be back.

I'm looking forward to Bill coming over in March so he can experience things here on the island. Actually I just excited that he can carry my grocery's back from the market.

Take care everyone and I will try and do something daring and exciting so at least I have one or two good stories to tell.

Home in Ireland

Hello everyone,

I made it back to Ireland and I didn't even have to run through any airports this time. Of course you would think that having a 3 hour layover in London you would assume that everything had time to follow you. Well of course my luggage is somewhere either still in Chicago or in London since I don't have it yet.

Good thing I carried on my important things so I can still survive without it for a day or so the way it is looking. That just means I get to go shopping since I don't have any underwear.

I do need to tell you about my seats on the flights. When I was checking in I realized that my flight out of Salt Lake I was in First Class. Now that is the way to fly. This plane only held 70 people all seated like sardines and here I was on the first row in First Class with all this wonderful leg room and big comfortable seats. It kind of felt weird being waited on while others where still boarding the plane but that is why you are in First Class.

My next flight out of Chicago to London my seats where in Premium Economy. Now if you can't afford First Class or Business this is the next best thing. Tons of leg room and my seat was like a lazy boy recliner. Foot rest and all and you get elbow room so when I had dinner on the plane I could actually eat in comfort instead of your elbows in at your sides.

My last leg of my flight the plane was only about a third full so I had the entire row to myself which was nice even if the flight was only 50 minutes.

So even though I had great seats and didn't need to run to my next connection I still can't manage to have something happen. At least this time it was only my luggage. So we will see how long it takes to get since the office is only open from 2 to 5 on Sundays. I need to remember I'm back in Ireland and things just happen when they happen and no one is in a hurry.

I will keep everyone posted on the time line it takes to get my luggage and hope it doesn't work on the same time line and getting your phone or internet connected.

It was great to be home for the Holidays and it is crazy that I have already been here for 4 months. The time is just flying and I will be home sometime in either May or June.

Talk to everyone soon so stay posted for more exciting updates.
