So, we get to the O'Hare airport in somewhat record time...not that we were in a rush or anything...and it's a good thing that we weren't because we found ourselves driving around O'Hare for maybe an hour? All we needed was to find the long term parking lot and we found nearly everything else. We finally ended up calling the number on the back of one of the tickets we received and was told what lot we were supposed to be in. This was pretty good news since we were looking at about $50/day in the lot we were in. When we got to our actual lot, it became $9/day...that's good news. On the way there, we saw huge plumes of black smoke rising from isengau...the airport...not gonna lie...kind of ominous. It certainly didn't do much for my confidence in the airline industry.

The amusement continued when we got to security. Jo and I got split up which isn't a big deal, except that we still needed to find foodstuffs and the security lady happen to tell me that everything in that department was only available prior to the security check. So, we went through the whole security process, I told her the news, and we decided to leave the secure area just as soon as we came in. The end of that story goes as you might expect, with us having to do the whole process all over again.

*Note to self - Don't go through security unless you're ready to get on the plane*

Speaking of which, it's about that time. We're almost ready to go get our boarding taken care of and hang out on the plane for the next hour or so until we take off. We're taking off at 7:15pm EST and will arrive in Dublin, Ireland at 7:50am local time. The direct flight will be around 7-8 hours. I expect the next update will be made at the hotel?

...hopefully no shards of ice or glass from the reak-havoc agrocrag will prevent us from getting to Shamrockville...

Stay tuned! :-D
