Overall, this was a great trip. I know I felt resentment in the weeks before going because I don't get paid for leading the program. It's not a vacation. It's work. Yet, I was able to get into somewhat of a vacation mode -- I was, after all, in Ireland!
The flight on Thursday leaving Dublin was delayed 2 hours. Someone was sick -- not a medical emergency from what I could tell -- so we sat on the tarmac for almost an hour before we could turn around and go back to a gate. Customs had to meet the person to clear them back into the country. Then, because we'd sat so long, the plane had to be refueled. Passengers seemed calm, though, taking it in stride.
The delay meant that I missed my 3pm connecting flight to Roanoke. Luckily, there was one at 5. I made it home by 11:30pm with enough time to get everything together for the ropes course program on Friday.
Shadow and Emma have stuck next to me everywhere I go in the house for the past 3 days. Every time I sit down, Shadow is on my lap. I know he was lonely and is happy to have us all back.
In checking ODU email today, there was a message from someone at Trinity regarding a complaint. I don't know yet what it is. I'm sure that it's never happened before, though, and I wonder what it is and who it was...
It's good to be home.
