Hello, Ireland!!!

Stories and pictures still to come, but we need to sleep.  It is 7:40pm here and we haven't slept more than a couple of hours between the adults.  The ladies are cooking dinner, Padraig is catching up on beauty sleep and Bobby is being awed by the warmth of a coal fire in the fireplace of our 1830's home for the next 4 nights.

Quick insight: 2.5 hour delay in Denver cuts into our anticipated 3 hour layover which leads to a 6:05 arrival in O'Hare's terminal #1 so that Di, Joy, Bobby and Padraig can transfer to meet Eisha at their 6:30 flight. (Waiting at terminal #5, which is not even connected to the other four terminals)  Some strained muscles, many pleas by Eisha on our behalf, a couple of nervous break downs in front of TSA officials and a lot of perseverance and we all...(I am sorry, but we are too tired to finish right now.)
