Happy, Jet Lagged, New Year!

Renee and I had a MUCH better trip from Ireland than we did going to Ireland. Our stay in New Jersey was about two hours, as compared to about 26hours. All of the cranky, nasty people that work in that dysfunctional airport truly deserve each other.

There was some thought that we might not leave Ireland due to the weather. It was rainy, of course, but the wind was wicked. As we waited in the terminal we could see our plane right there in front of us on the other side of the window. The wind was blowing right into the vertical stablizer (the tail) and it was rocking the whole plane back and forth at least two feet. But, I guess we're lucky and they're used to it cause up we went, smooth and true.

On both the Ireland to NJ and NJ to Tampa flights Renee had reserved us Exit Door seats. These seats have two advantages, more legroom (very important for me) and no children are allowed. The only downside is if the door opens up in flight. The extra legroom made a huge difference to me. On the flight out I was sore in my knees and hips.

Again, we thank you for reading of our travels and we wish you and yours all the best in the new year.

Kevin and Renee
