Day 1 – June 18 – Travel

We started our trip in the American Airlines Admiral’s Club at the Orlando airport. Breakfast and coffee in the peace and quiet is a great alternative to sitting at the gate.

After a 3 hour flight to JFK in NY, we paused in the Admiral’s Club there for a bite.

Then on to the Hilton JFK for an afternoon respite – using some of the Hilton points I accumulated over the last year and a half. This was Barb’s genius plan to grab a nap and freshen up before the 7 hour transatlantic flight to Dublin.

Crossing the ocean in style. Aer Lingus business class is the way to go. Starting with expedited check in then more leisure time in the Aer Lingus lounge, we felt spoiled before we ever got on the plane.

Oh my. On the plane we are in full luxury mode. Full Irish meal and seats that fully recline.
