There is nothing more excruciating than waiting for the day of your trip to get here. I am flying out tomorrow at 7 pm from O’Hare airport, with a layover in Dublin on my way to Shannon. I think the airline officials who thought up this route had half a brain. It adds about three unnecessary hours onto my trip. The longest flight I have ever had was from Hartford, Connecticut to Oakland, California. I think total flying hours was about 5-6 hours, not including layover time. For this flight, it is 8 hours 15 minutes, give or take. From the flight chart, I think I got a center seat. I do not look forward to the squishing, but it saved me several hundred dollars.
I am bracing myself for the hub bub of the airport, and the insanity of security. Last time I was there, I was thirteen and our entire travel group got delayed by a thirteen year old with steel toed boots.
Gee 27 more hours and I haven’t even packed…
