Getting there

Even though our flight wasn't until 1:10pm we got up at 9am and left for the airport right at 10. We had to go back and fourth between two different workers who kept telling us to go different places to get our tickets printed off until we finally ended up in a line that took a little over 10minutes to get through, the part that by far took the longest was when we had to go through the line to show a worker our tickets before we could enter the security area. It was so frustrating, I guess we chose the wrong line because it was already super slow by itself and to add to it, every time someone in a wheelchair rolled up they, along with everyone they were with (sometimes a family of 8 or 9) got to jump the line and we had to wait even longer. Luckily, the guy finally let Lisa and I in and get through and after we finally got through that we flew though security and had time to stop at the food court before our first flight. Grossest pizza I've ever tried to eat haha and for $7! What a waste. When we finally boarded the plane we were pleased with our seats ( right in the middle of the plane and Lisa had a window) but we were nervous because we counted 11 little kids get on the plane and neither of us are huge fans of kids. Luckily they got most of their crying out of the way in the terminal. Neither of us slept at all since it was such a short flight to NC, just listened o music on our iPods. I got pretty nauseous when we started landing and my stomach cramped up a couple times but for the most part it was fine. When we landed I went and got a Quiznos sandwich and Lisa got a smoothie and we headed to wait at our next terminal. We were midplane again and Lisa got the window seat like before. A really old guy sat on my other side but he wasn't a problem, snored a little bit when he slept but that was it. The meal they gave us was surprisingly good, it was pasta and broccoli with some kind of  butter sauce, a salad with ranch, a roll, and a brownie. We also got a free glass of white wine but it was not good haha I slept for the first half hour or so but after that I couldnt fall back asleep so I watched movies on my iPad for a couple hours. With about 4 hours left until we landed I was worried the next day would be horrible unless I slept so I took 2 of the pills the doctor gave me to sleep. Definitely a mistake, they took a while to kick in so I only slept about an hour and it was like I was on drugs when I got off the plane. Seriously, I couldn't see straight. We landed 6:55 Dublin time. Luckily we got a cab right away and even though check in wasn't until 3pm  she let us check in right when we got there for a small fee. I collapsed into bed and was able to sleep a couple hours until we started our first day in Dublin
