Riley and I made it to Ireland and back without too many hitches. She slept most of the way there. The worst parts of flying were when she had to be confined/strapped to me (take-off, landing, flights between Ireland and Dublin), but overall it went pretty well. I had a little bit of a breakdown at Heathrow on the way back, but that was the worst of it. Riley didn't sleep much on the way home either, but she still did well.
We had a nice time in Ireland. Mostly just hung around the house enjoying each other's company and visiting with Colm's family.
Here are some pictures from our visit:
Riley became good friends with the snowman and santa. They were just her size.
