What we did know was our flight was delayed. We were supposed to leave at 4:30 for Boston where we had an hour and a half hour layover. But the flight arrived 40 minutes late because La Guardia had a power outage. After the plane arrived, maintenance needed to fix a seat. Then the plane wasn't getting air conditioning.
We didn't leave until 5:30 PM and knew even with them holding the flight, it was going to be tight so I requested a wheel chair for Dave. I ran for the gate with our carry-ons, but they were still boarding a huge group of 5th-6th graders in the People to People program. We took off around 9:30.
We got a new seat assignment in First Class---but the seat was too big for me and in the bulk head so I had nothing to put my feet on. It was a sleepless night.

We arrived at Shannon, Ireland 8:00 AM---our suitcases did not. Seven golfers from Bellerive Country Club arrived with no clubs. Dave filled out the missing luggage report while I went to find the Elderhostel people. Then, I couldn't get back in. Finally, I had Dave paged and he joined our group.
At 10 AM we had a buffet breakfast at Woodlands and drove through Adare with thatched roofs. I fell asleep on the bus and didn't see much. We arrived at International Hotel in Killarney around 12:45 so our rooms weren't ready. Dave and I walked around town and had lunch.
After our room was ready, we showered, took another walk and had a meeting with the leaders where we were given a packet of information.
We had salmon for dinner, veggies, salad and rolls. For dessert, I had fruit but Dave had rhubarb cobbler.
