Traveling back to the US was pretty uneventful, other than the fact that I was travelling in a sling. The BEST part of the day was being able to go through US Customs while still in Dublin! This was key, allowing us added time for our layover in Charlotte. It was especially nice since our arrival gate and departure gate in Charlotte were adjacent to one another. If we had had to go through Customs in Charlotte, we would have had to leave the concourse only to return to the same area!
Dublin to Charlotte
We enjoyed several movies during the Dublin to Charlotte flight, including The Darkest Hour (which was even more interesting after visiting The Churchill War Rooms–they were exactly like the movie–did they film in there?) and the newest Jumanji. I usually read when flying, but on a flight that long, I was happy to have some other form of entertainment. The food was very good for airplane food, and the free wine was a bonus!
Home Sweet Home
I thoroughly enjoyed our European vacation, but I was happy to get home to my other kids and my pets! During our trip I had decided not to travel for more than two weeks at a time, but I’ve already blown that–next March I am going to Morocco with my cousin and some of her friends. That trip is 15 days, but Cheryl and I are planning a side trip afterward back to the UK to visit our cousins again. It will be Cheryl’s first time meeting them and I will be excited to see them again!
