Dublin, IRELAND

This blog will be updated with pictures and stories of my epic 50 hour trip to Dublin Ireland. Stay tuned. Updates will come in on or around the 11th December 2009. I apologize I cannot update while on the road. Follow me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/bgrimm

I have a little extra time on my hands. I don't recall the specifics but the flight from Boise was really late. There was a 2 inch layer of fresh powder coating the entire Treasure Valley. The runway and aircraft was no different. There was an exception for the window in seat 6A it had a particularly thick layer of ridgid ice block my view of the white tarmack. That made no difference to me as I closed my windowshade and fell into a deep slumber. Most mornings I would wake up to a beverage service. This morning I awoke to the captain saying that de-icing was nearly finnished. We would depart shortly. I arrive in Pheonix 11 minutes before the Philly flight departs. Not a chance. I'm not in Boise anymore. Gates are miles apart today. I get rebooked for the next flight to Philly. For now things are fine. I still plan to reach my Dublin flight in time tonight.
