Hello from Dublin! I’ll make another post at some point later on about the flights. They were good – nothing spectacular…and BMI charges for everything!
At least we made it! …more to come soon

Dublin
Off to Dublin!
So it’s 10pm ET and I’m sitting in the RCC waiting for the IAD-LHR flight. I have no idea what nasty food we’ll be served, but I’ll be sure to take an iPhone picture! 14A&B are the seats. It’s a UA 777. No fancy new seat, but at least there’s some entertainment. From there we’ll [...]
