Summer Vacation

from left to right
1. Plane ride from Paris to Dublin.
2. Beef stew, tomato and oregano pasta salad, chocolate chip cookie, and frozen bread roll; Dublin to Boston.
3. Our luggage being pushed over on a trolley towards the plane.
4. After many delays, we finally got on to the runway and there was a long line of airplanes behind and in front of us waiting to take off; Boston to Atlanta.
5. My brother deciding to practice his 'brace position' before takeoff.
6. Goodbye Boston!
7. We encountered a huge thunderstorm cloud on the way to Atlanta. After flying 15 minutes parallel to such big lightening bolts I can officially mark 'a close encounter with lightening' off of my bucket list.
8. Airplane magazine humour, "Let's eat Grandma" "Let's eat, Grandma" "Commas save lives".
9. Arrived in Atlanta only to learn that we had missed our connection to Frankfurt, FL and that we would have to spend the night at the airport. So, we settled in on the chairs at the gate and tried to fall asleep. 
10. Nothing like a nice warm sesame bagel and sizzling hot chocolate to bring your spirits after such a long night. 
11. The airport in Atlanta is so large that we had to take a subway to go from one gate to another.
12. "Next stop D gates... D as in Daniel"
13. Our plane driving to the gate.
14. Snowflakes accumulated on the airplane windows while flying over the Caribbean!
15. Puerto Rico at last!
16. "Bienvenidos". After 22 hours of traveling we finally arrived to our final destination!
