hi everyone! contrary to the location set on this blog we are NOT in Dublin yet, but America was not an option! Just wanted to send an initial note, make sure emails were working etc. We officially have 3 days to pack before we take off for Ireland. For the parents, we are leaving from SF on American flight 1612 to New York and then American flight 92 straight to Dublin. Beginning monday morning, we've got a lovely 15 hour travel time before we touch down on another continent! Once we get there we're staying at the Kinlay House in Dublin (http://www.kinlaydublin.ie/) until thursday morning when we will be boarding a plane on RyanAir to london where we will be staying with Deena Newman for a couple nights.

Hopefully this works and we'll get another message out from Dublin!
