The flight to Dublin only take an hours and its beautiful to land as the sun is rising. Getting though US customs is a pain in my ass but at least I get to experience the beautiful Irish accent! We board our next flight from Dublin to Chicago. I love this plane, isle seat and touche screen tv's on the back of each seat with new releases and tv choices (Aer Lingus if you are interested in the airline) I sleep for six hours then watch a movie. Nest up Chicago. O'Harre is huge! And I am confused! They said my luggage would be transferred but I look at the carousel and its not there. I have to take a tram from terminal 5 to 1 to get my boarding pass. I guess I'll just cross my fingers my luggage in on the next plane. Thank God I can finally call my parents so they can walk me through the luggage ordeal. A world of advise, write everything and I mean everything down and ask questions. airports are no place for pride-fulness. Also if you are traveling abroad have internet access and a credit card for emergencies...or super awesome parents and a lot of patients. When it come sot living abroad go with the flow but when it comes to traveling there is no amount of neurotic-ism and preparedness that is over the top. Seriously. I get my boarding pass and go through security yet again. When I get to my gate I ask about my check bag and it IS on the plane. Another word of advise - keep all paperwork! Receipts, tickets, etc until you have all your times and are at your final destination. I board and yay another isle seat although by now it doesn't matter to me anymore. If I have to hear another plane safety speech i might scream. I think by now I could ace a pop quiz on it. I'm almost home. I just want a shower! But then it will be back to getting ready for Italy. O well, all I am focued on right now is getting home and getting my bag.
