From Chicago to Dublin, Ireland

Part 2 of our journey took us from Chicago to Dublin. We left about 7pm CT and arrived just after 8am GMT (6 hours ahead of CT). The flight took almost 7.5 hours. The kids did really well on the plane. It was such an adventure for them. Deanna did admit to being a little scared as she thought the plan would spin and spin (thankfully it didn't), although we did experience quite a lot of turbulence mid way through the flight.
The flight wasn't too full so the kids were able to spread out and sleep for about 3-4 hours. They had to sleep with their seat belts on, just in case of turbulence - which Deanna did. It didn't look very comfortable but I guess when you are that tired you will sleep in any position!! After waking, Naomi threw up, she was grateful I had told her to take spare clothes in her hand luggage!!

What an amazing picture of Ireland! I sure hope the runway was clearer than that!
