Nicole & Matthew - Enjoying the London Flight

We arrived in London Saturday, March 30th at 12:00 noon. We all made it through customs except for Jennifer. She was detained for awhile, but they eventually allowed her to join us. You will have to ask her for the details. Our layover in London was roughly three hours. 



Nicole & "The Wanted"

We boarded the Aer Lingus flight to Belfast at 3:30 pm. This is when things got interesting! Greg sat next to some young men who were talking and singing during the whole flight. Greg was trying to fall asleep so he put on his ear phones. When we arrived in Belfast there was a large group of teen age girls screaming outside. It turns out that those guys make up the boy band "The Wanted." 

Our driver met us at the airport and drove us to our new home in Moville, Ireland. Upon our arrival, we met the owners of the property and they were very friendly. We introduced ourselves over a pint of Guinness (Greg & Paul) and a glass of wine (Jennifer & Janice).

We are staying at a refurbished Coastguard station built in 1856. It over looks the Lough Foyle.
