Getting There

---

Boston to Shannon was only five hours and five minutes long. Not too bad.

And in spite of our sketchy “charter” status… our carrier, Ryan Airlines, was similar to the average American carrier.

There were a large number of irish people aboard. I assume they were traveling back home after vacationing in the states. Not too many young people.

So what do you do on a five-hour flight? Option 1: Watch Ms. Congeniality 2 (the in-flight movie); Option 2: Drink Dan’s bottle of duty-free rum ($14 bacardi).

Guess which one we did. The flight attendants seemed to like us… they gladly provided ample Coke and ice.

Soon we arrived in Ireland. Many beautiful sights from the sky.
