So I'm super excited because I leave for my trip to Ireland in just 14 days! How did the time go by so quickly? It seemed like December would never get here, considering that I booked the trip in July. And now, I'm realizing that I need to start packing! We've had a few minor changes to the itinerary...Air France cancelled their flights between Paris and Shannon, so we've been changed to Aer Lingus, which is actually a direct flight from NYC. My dad has decided not to go with us, given some recent back pain (which makes him VERY hesitant to fly 14 hours), and so he'll be the official dogsitter while we're gone. And since we'll no longer be travelling through Paris, I found a great deal on RyanAir to go to London for a day...so I'll be travelling through 3 states and 2 countries on this trip! (Unfortunately, all of my connecting flights are through states that I have already visited, so I won't have any new states to mark off of the map...so I still have 24 states to visit.)
I am looking for any recommendations that anyone may have for items to pack, since this is my first big overseas adventure....any suggestions?
Thanks!
P.S. Given the scenery of Ireland and London, I've decided to hold off on sending Christmas cards this week...and will instead wait until I return from my trip so that I can order some of those cute photo cards from Sam's Club to send out to everyone.
