We arrived in Freizing, outside of Munich and met up with Mike, Chase, and Cohen, who had just arrived and were adjusting to the new time zone. We went for a walk and found a nice spot on the river to soak our feet and the cousins showed off their rock skipping skills. Afterword we …
For our first night in Dublin, we went to bed around 8 pm, but then we all woke up at midnight and struggled to sleep until we had to get up at 4 am to get to the airport for our flight to Zurich. The airport was full of travelers and we waited in long …
It was a long flight from SFO to Dublin, but we made it! When we finally arrived, 3 of our checked bags didn’t come out on the carrousel, so we spent at least an extra jet lagged and hungry hour waiting for the bag check guy to find our stuff before we could actually leave …
