We left Chicago on time at 6:00 pm with a full flight, kind of jammed in. The flight was pretty uneventful and we arrived in Dublin on time, but then things slowed down. Apparently there was a connecting flight from Boston that was late due to weather. The weather (ground fog) was a problem at both airports. Finally got to Shannon at 11:00 am. Long drive to Dingle getting used to driving on the left, the "round abouts", the narrow roads and the Irish drivers.
Got to Dingle about 4:30, went to the Internet cafe to email everyone. Haven't gotten a phone yet, maybe tomorrow. Did some shopping so that we could fix dinner and breakfast for today.
We left for our cottage just after dark, which was a mistake! However, after several misses we finally found our new home for the next 10 days. It is a wonderful cottage. More to come in another entry on the Cottage.
After a time of unpacking and fixing dinner it was time to go to bed. We had been up for over 35 hours with only a few cat naps.
While it is February, it is still so green and fairly warm. Daffodils are blooming around our cottage.
We will be sending more in a couple of days.
Having trouble downloading pictures right now, so will be working on this for future blogs.
