Flying to Dublin
You are viewing an old revision of this post, from February 28, 2018 @ 20:05:15. See below for differences between this version and the current revision.
I brought only two books for this trip:
- Serendipities: Language and Lunacy by Umberto Eco, and
- Opening Skinner’s Box: Great Psychological Experiments Of The 20th Century by Lauren Slater.
We left way too early for the airport; security wasn’t a big deal. We’re flying Aer Lingus on the trip out. We had to check our carry-on bags – apparently European airlines have lower weight constraints than US carriers. And, we sat on the plane, an Airbus 330, for over an hour pulled back from the gate because:
- they had to take bags off the plane for some transfers that didn’t show up, and
- weather north of O’Hare was dicy.
Aviva and I are crammed in like sardines – the seats are smaller than US carrier seats. And my laptop travel battery appears to not be working again (won’t be a problem on the way home – there’s power at the seat on the return trip).
But, we’re on our way to Dublin.
