We're Home!! / Trip Recap

Hi Everyone!!

Well, we are home! We have been here since the 25th and have just been unwinding and unpacking since then. The trip home was actually very good, it is an 8 hour time difference from Alaska and Ireland but we experienced surprisingly little jet-lag. On our flight home from Dublin we had about a 20 hour layover in Newark and my brother drove up from Connecticut and we got to spend a couple hours with him just talking and catching up. When you live on opposite sides of the country face to face catching up doesn't happen often enough so it was GREAT to see him!! We were VERY fortunate to make it home. as you may have heard we have a volcano that has been erupting and causing airlines to cancel flights into and out of Anchorage. We got in on Wednesday and flights the 2 days prior and the 2 days after were cancelled, so we just happened to get in on the 1 day with no disruptions!!

Our trip was amazing! We feel so blessed that we were able to go and experience Ireland. In fact, we went there with the mind set that we would be able to check Ireland off of our travel list, however we loved it so much we would absolutely go back! It is a magical place where the only thing that outshines the beautiful landscape is the friendliness of the Irish people. The trip exceeded every expectation that we had.

On a side note I have to give a BIG kudos to Sherri. Almost the entire trip she felt horrible. She said that this was probably the worst cold she has ever had, yet she was such a trooper and still got out and did a ton of stuff! Now that we are home she is still feeling the effects of the cold, but is SO much better.

Thanks for "following along" on our blog, we really enjoyed logging on and reading everyone's comments along the way.
