Rochester, NY to Dublin, Ireland.

So, a quick rundown of why Amanda was mucho stressed leading up to the trip (this paragraph will bore/stress you out): Pack house in case it sells; sell my car/that falls thru/put in storage; set up Mom's car so a friend could drive it/this fails and John is dealing with it; find homes for cats; realtor/surveyor crap; get Mom's finances in order to be continued/cancelled when house sells; get my finances in order in case I croak; plan a world trip; pack for world trip; and a million other things that thankfully have already left my mind. Of course the cherry on top was the squirrels that moved into the attic a week before I left, the fact that I lost or packed the keys to Mom's car and one of the cats can't seem to stop talking/screaming in her new home (all thru the night- joy.) A HUGE thanks to all who helped make this trip possible- especially John and Sarah who are now taking on all the things I failed to get done and Chris who now has the screaming cat living with him.

So bring on the trip!! Flew out of Rochester at 12:30pm on Friday and instead of flying to Laguardia and then to Philly, they changed my tickets so that I flew directly to Philly. The down side was that I then had a 8 hour layover in Philly. Oh well, ate at a couple of restaurants and got a pedicure so it just felt like a long day at the mall. Really nothing eventful to tell on the flights, so let's just skip to the next day...
