4 June 2007 3:30pm Dublin Time
We've been in Dublin for a day now. I'm doing my best now not to think about the time in Hamilton and the flight so I'll gloss over it quickly. We got on the plane finally at about 9 pm and finally flew out. We were on an actual Globespan plane this time so it was a 737 configured for the European cheap flight business. Seats were narrow to hold maximum passengers and with the larger number of passenger bags, there wasn't enough room for fuel for a Hamilton\Dublin non stop. As a bonus, I can now say that I have seen Iceland (or the tip of it at Keflavik airport) and Greenland as we flew over. Greenland was stunning, mountains sticking out through a snowy desert, you could see ripples made by the wind that must have been miles across. truly a landscape I could not have imagined. Iceland by contrast was brownish green and flat. as we rolled along the tarmac, we could see the arctic grasses and fields of purple lupins.
Aside from those two views from the window, it was a quiet flight puctuated by frequent apologies by the flight crew for all that we had been through the previous days. Even so, I doubt that anyone on our flight will ever use Flyglobespan again.
