Monday, 5/19 (Shannon Airport to Home)
Clare County to Kalamazoo County

     
   

       

          Not surprisingly I don't sleep well for the second night in a row.  I'm so anxious to get home to Marcia and the girls that I can't sleep - for the first time on this trip!  I take a cold shower, of course, because the hot water timer at our B+B isn't set for our early hour.  We are up at 5:45 a.m., and I hadn't thought to request an early hot water setting the night before, something that is difficult to remember if you're an American.  We have some tea and cereal, and at 6:30 a.m. our van is at our door.

As usual, nothing is happening at Shannon Airport until after 7:00 a.m. when our sleepy little clerk checks us in.  I get a bottle of Power whiskey at the duty free store, and we have a smooth flight to Gatwick.

We receive the bad news when we arrive at NW Airlines check in desk at Gatwick.  Our flight has been delayed 2 hours, and I have been booked on a later flight out of Detroit.  If all goes well, I'll be home two hours later than scheduled.  Fingers are crossed.

We arrive in Kalamazoo at 10:00 p.m.  All is well.  Fini.
