We got up early this morning to get to the airport with lots of time to spare before our flight to Ireland. I went to find parking and was lucky to find a new place that was free! Then we got our boarding passes and made our way through the scrum to get on board. It was total chaos with people pushing and shoving because there's no pre-assigned seating. The flight was 1.5 hours and the baby was good the whole time. When we arrived, the grandparents were waiting outside and we left the baby with them. He clearly remembered who they were and was happy to see them and so he was not scared or anxious at being left with them while we waited inside the arrival hall for our luggage.







After we got our luggage, we loaded up in the rental car and grandpa drove us to the cottage we booked for one week. The drive was eventful since as we passed through Limirick, Adare, and several other quaint little Irish villages. We found our cottage on the Internet at www.countykerryholidays.com and it turned to be truly very nice. With a full kitchen, we were able to have breakfast and dinner in-house. The first night, the mommy and the daddy went into the town of Tralee for dinner for Italian pasta at Bella Bia while the grandparents had an early night. The baby is very good at saying "pasta" whenever he is hungry for dinner.
