We traveled this summer. We went from Sioux Falls to Chicago and then to Dublin, Ireland via Aer Lingus. Our flight left Chicago at about 6:00 p.m. After six hours on board, we arrived at Dublin Airport. It was 7:00 a.m.
We didn't sleep much on the flight, although we tried!! We were seated near the bathrooms and every time we'd begin to drift off to sleep... someone would come by and we'd hear the door creak. So... we were a little bit tired to say the least.
We went through Irish Immigration which was pretty easy to navigate and got our passports stamped. Then we headed for the hotel, thinking that as we were so early our room would not be ready and we'd be in agony. The Carleton, however, had our room ready for us so we took a brief nap of about 3 hours, and then headed out.
We had lunch in the Temple Bar district, and picked up a few groceries for supper that night. The boy and the girl are badly jetlagged in this photo. The girl is sipping complimentary tea, and the boy is standing there after showering. Dh and I were on the balcony.
It was romantic, and wonderful. Yet at that moment, we'd have given just about anything for a bit more sleep. However, we knew we had to acclimate to the new time zone so we stayed up til it was about 8 p.m. Impressive, huh??
