Dublin/Chicago – Day 11

Day 11 –Friday, September 28:
Our final dinner
Farewell to Ireland
Left hotel 10:00 AM

We met for breakfast to enjoy our final Irish breakfast before heading to the Dublin airport.
Now it was time to pack our final bag and weigh them for departure.
Our final dinner was very nice we said our good-byes that evening. A couple of families were continuing on to England to meet friends, but the majority was well rested and ready to head home.

After breakfast, we were surprised to see our driver Mike, who thought for sure he would not be able to take us back to the airport. He managed to move some plans around and off we went.

The airport was crowded but the lines went quickly. 2 security areas was a bit much--but we were organized and Jim lead the way to all the security points. I was nervous with all the paperwork for things to declare and moving from this line to that...passport here...passport not here...but finally, all of us met at our gate on time with no one lost or delayed.

Left with 23 passengers; others traveling separately.
US pre-clearance before the gate
Departure Dublin, Aer Linguis flight #125 scheduled for 12:50 PM, left at 1:30 PM
Arrived in Chicago 3:30 PM CST

It was a great trip; now back to reality—with family, friends and work!

Thanks guys, it was a wonderful trip with lots of new friends and memories!!!
