September 7, 2007-Farewells
Wendy’s poncho finally bit the dust. David was wearing it on
this trip and he wore it out. The reason I mention it is that it was the poncho
she took to summer camp from 1978 on and we’ve taken it on every trip on which
we’ve gone. That’s one strong piece of plastic.
As we left Belfast for the Dublin airport we were in heavy
traffic and drivers were irritable. They kept honking and honking at us and
everyone else. I just yelled out, “We’re Jewish. Leave us alone.” The car
windows were closed so I was safe. I think the best religion to be in N.
Ireland is Jewish.
We made the airport in 2 ½ hours. Estimates had ranged from
a half hour to 3 hours. Our Lux Air flight took off on time and we caught a
shuttle to a new Travelodge near the airport. It’s inexpensive but everything
is extra. WiFi is $10/hour and the shuttle was $12 for the two of us. We have
to ride it again tomorrow morning.
Just a last note on unique food over here: we eat Pringles
at home but these flavors are more interesting. They have beef and onion, Thai,
and Greek cheese with avocado.
We land tomorrow in Cleveland, Saturday the 8th,
at around 5:30 PM if we run on time. It’s been fun writing to you. I hope
you’ve enjoyed it too.
