Waiting for Dublin

Orlando.MCO. What can I say about that damn place? Nothing too good as of yet. Driving into it is a mess, getting around it is a mess, and then there is security. A mess. Yes, David and Lisa made it through security without issue. I was patted down then brought aside to have my back pack sifted through. Irish Spring body wash proved to be the threat to national security this time and thanks to the brave TSA workers, another crisis averted. I know, I'm just being sarcastic. It's like you don't know me. 

We board the plane and almost immediately Lisa is bemoaning the fact that there are 2 toddler aged children behind us. The one directly behind her has already kicked her seat. About an hour later, the other turned the channel on my in seat TV as I was watching SEC college football highlights. Grrrrr. They screamed, shouted, and whined the throughout the whole 3 hour flight. Parents only whispered "Stop it." Then we landed and after venting our frustrations, all was better.

We landed at Logan International in Boston and walked towards terminal E, the international terminal. We saw David off as he left to go home. Lisa and I proceeded through security, again, then to the terminal. Rewarded ourselves with a free sample of 15 year old Dewars scotch. OK, so that makes up for the little bastards on the pervious plane. We then found 2 beautiful Sam Adams Lagers, Prime rib sandwich French dip and fries for me and Ipswich clams, green beans and mashed potatoes for Lisa at a restaurant called Durgin Park. My food was very delicious. The au jus was peppery and over the top awesome. Lisa was not too much of a fan of her clams but was damn sure to eat her mashed potatoes. 

So now we wait in the terminal after searching for an outlet to charge our devices. I honestly don't mean to sound like a spoiled American, but in this day and age, in a modern city such as Boston, it is a little bit absurd that there are so few outlets for travelers to soak up some valuable juice for their precious devices, you know? But anyways, we found one for Lisa and now it's 8:04 PM, we wait for 8:15 PM to board. How exciting!

Soon, we will board. We plan to take some Ambien so that we sleep through our 6 hour transatlantic flight. Dublin, I'll see you in the morning.
