Three Months Later...

15 June 5:30 Dublin/12:30 EST

We're finally on our flight back. It sounds odd to be relieved that we are coming home from vacation, but given all the grief we experienced on our flight out, it's a relief to be airborne. Mind you this is a pretty turbulent flight which is making for some interesting typos. I'll have to run spellcheck when I'm finished.

Globespan continues to surprise. As we were assembling to board the plane, it turns out that the same seats were sold to people travelling from both Dublin and Shannon so there was an awkward hour where passengers were seated by name. Barb's name was called in the first few but not me. I sat in the departure lounge wondering what would happen next. Soon there were eight of us left and I was wondering if I would need to hang out in Shannon while Barb rode home alone. Suddenly a flight attended trotted out of the plane and asked for passenger Williams. I get inside and find that Barb flagged somebody down and said "where's my husband?" Up to this point they thought she had flown alone and were going to give my seat to someone else. An hour later and they were fortunately able to accommodate everyone. given the mix-up of seats, they have made up for it by not charging for drinks, A nice surprise.
