It is Saturday night, July 21st and we are back in Mobile finally after yet again another United Airlines snafu. We ended up our wonderful journey back to our roots in Pensacola at about midnight last night due to more mechanical problems. We had no luggage, but we were home safely. Luggage did arrive this afternoon. I am sorry the blog did not materialize as I had hoped, but I had no idea that we would be totally without Wifi and for that matter any internet connection for much of the trip. Despite all the United problems, we had a PERFECT trip together. The children were the best, and our family in Ireland welcomed us with open arms and lots of "cheer". After about five days with family in Donegal, we traveled to Galway, Kilarney, Yeats country, Dingle peninsula,Kenmare, etc.
We had a wonderful driver Helena who was an expert in Irish history and could answer all our questions and was the perfect hostess. Can't begin to tell all we learned, but needless to say, we are now knowledgeable in the history, culture, politics, religion, and educational system of Ireland. I have only a few pics now, but will add more if our LOST camera surfaces. John Conal and Madeleine now are connected with cousins with names like Sinead, Maeve, Tal, Seamus, and lots of Conals and Marians.
