We are a day behind or two now, it is hard to keep track . We left Vancouver on Tuesday February 7th and arrived on Wednesday February 8th. The flight was smooth and no bumps, it went so fast we were both surprised at how quick it felt. During the flight Caitlin opened more cards from friends and family; it is so nice to know how everyone is behind Caitlin supporting her on this adventure.
Unfortunately we were delayed leaving Vancouver; we missed our connecting flight to Dublin and we had to wait for a little bit in Heathrow. For anyone who has travelled through Heathrow you will understand that it was a bit of a blessing to get some extra time to connect. Seriously... could that airport be anymore confusing and hard to get around? As someone said this morning, we felt like there should have been a piece of cheese waiting for us on the other side.
The delay was okay because we bumped into a fellow Canadian and his family making the trip here as well, and because it also allowed us to meet with our good friends the McInnis-Thorpe's, Sue and Jadyn at the airport in Dublin. We arrived at the hotel and went for a nice dinner and then straight to bed with fingers crossed that we would fall fast asleep .
