April 9

So, today a couple of us decided to go for a run at 5 in the morning. The people who originally wanted to come did not. The 2 of us who did go, walked down the stairs to find all the lights shut off and the doors locked. So we tried opening them and we were scared an alarm would go off but we ended up opening it and it locked behind us, and we were locked outside in the cold for 2 hours. We walked back to try and open the door again, it's still locked. So we just sat in the foyer until Ben saved us.  Thank you Ben!

@ 8:30 ish we boarded this really awesome bus, it was so comfortable! 2 hours later we ended up in Lyon, France at the airport where we would be flying Aer Lingus out to Ireland!! 🍀 

PS... The security in France is like full on military. Guns, camouflage, the whole bit. It was pretty new to see.

Upon arriving at the airport, Sr. Mary was encountered by some dude that said we have to wait another 2 hours before we could even get our luggage checked. 

Another 1 hour delay and we are finally on board the aircraft to Ireland. 

We got to the Dublin airport and we were greeted by the Trafalgar tour guide, Jill and the chauffeur, Jimmy.  

A half hour bus ride later and we arrived at our hotel. 

Everyone got settled into their rooms and went back down for supper at 8pm. Showers and bedtime followed.
