Ireland Departure

On Sunday Jeana and I got to get up bright and early again to catch our flight home. Our tour guide had told us that we needed to be at the airport two hours before our flight departed because security at the Dublin airport could be chaos. Our flight left at 8:10 so that meant we needed to be at the airport at 6:00 am. There was a shuttle that left our hotel at 5:30 so we decided to take that because we figured it would be the easiest route. This meant waking up at 5:15 which was a drag but we weren’t about to take any chances of missing our flight.

We got to the airport at exactly 6:00 and were through security by 6:10. As you can tell security was not a problem for us at all but we are always happy to be early rather than stressed about missing our flight. We then got to sit in the airport for two hours while we waited for our flight to board. The time passed pretty quickly as I read my book. Boarding got started a little late but the flight managed to land in London right on time still. We found out on our flight that Ryanair, which is the airline we took, actually landed 90% of its flights from the previous year on time. That’s a nice thing to know when you want to get places on time! Our easybus was right on time at the airport so we got back to London in good time. When the bus dropped us off we walked to the tube station only to find out the Bakerloo line was closed due to planned engineering works.

We decided the best idea was to find a bus. After walking back and forth between a couple streets we finally found out bus stop. Right as we found it the bus had pulled up. We flagged him down and sprinted to jump on the bus. The driver was nice enough to wait for us. We got off on Kilburn High Road and walked the rest of the way home. Getting home is always a really nice feeling after hours of traveling. When we got home we made ourselves some lunch and unpacked. I spent the rest of the afternoon talking to my parents and working on some homework. It was a really relaxing afternoon and it felt good to get some of my homework out of the way.
