Safely home
 |
| My plane at Dublin airport |
Just to let you all know I'm safely home.. thank you Jesus!!
Had one little drama on the way home.. I lost my watch in Dubai.
Our Dublin flight was an hour late leaving, so the connection was always going to be rushed. As I went through security, they asked me to take off my watch and put it in the tray. Then sadly I gathered up everything else but managed to leave my watch behind. I only realised when I got to the gate of my next plane that was already boarding. I asked the guy at the gate, and he rang lost and found, but it wasn't there. Anyway he gave me an email address to send my details to, and if it was handed in (which I'm not holding my breath about) they will send it back to me. I'm about to do that email when I finish this.
Apart from that, the plane trip was fine. But I have to admit I felt it very long... And getting through security and customs is always a pain. Even at Perth airport the queues were very lengthy. I was very glad to get back into my own house again.
So, that's it folks. I had an amazing time and loved every minute of Ireland. Special thanks to Marie and family for looking after me so well. And the crew down at The Atlantic, and Val's Coffee Shop (thanks Siobhan!)
And thank you to you, my trusty companions, who came along on the journey with me, and sent those regular comments and emails. They were a source of life and love for me as they kept me close to home as well.
So ..
Go rachadh do dhia leat
Which means.. may your God go with you ( Hope that's right, Marie!)
... Until we meet again.
Welcome back, it’s always nice to come home. Apart from a week in Esperance in December for Layla’s dance concert I am staying put.
ReplyDeleteGlad your trip back wasn’t too bad, it’s a very long trip and Thankyou for taking us along for the ride, it was great.
I can’t say anything in Irish but take care. Colleen
Take care is just fine!! Thanks for being so involved. Loved your daily comments and interest in my journey. Have to catch up soon to replenish the Vegemite!!! 🤣🤣
DeleteWelcome home Moira- glad you are safely home esp with so much violence around the world. I look forward to catching up in the New Year. Lots of love, Pam 🙏🏼🌻💕
ReplyDeleteThanks for following the journey Pam. Yes I'm glad to be home and not flying over any dodgy air space. Thanks for keeping in touch over the journey. Always appreciated.
DeleteThanks for letting us know you are safely home Moira! Bad luck about your watch though! I have a Mercy colleague setting off from Dublinbto Melbourne via Dubai tonight, arriving late tomorrow night, Sunday, into Tullamarine so I’ll go to meet her.
ReplyDeleteYou will have so many wonderful memories and photos to savour in the coming weeks. I hope your jet lag isn’t too bad. Go gently, Annette.
Apparently Emirates aren't known for keeping to time schedules! Thanks for all your comments and updates over the last month Annette. Really appreciated them all. Xx
DeleteWell done Moira
ReplyDeleteThanks 😊
DeleteWelcome back to Terra Firma. So thrilled you have had your Irish experiences. Congratulations on being a successful solo traveller. I dips my cap to you!! ❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks Meggsie - loved your support and interest whilst I was travelling. Just looking at the bombing in Lebanon and I am very glad to be home In Australia!
DeleteJust me again. I’ve just seen on the news that it is much cheaper to buy Vegemite and Tim Tams in the UK than it is in Australia. Wow.
ReplyDeleteYes I heard that too. I didn't see any TinTams or Vegie over there in Ireland though. Maybe in Dublin?? I bought some Vegemite there a few trips ago, when they confiscated my Vegemite at the airport!!!
DeleteWelcome home Moira. I hope you have fully recovered by now. I had exactly the same experience with my watch in Dubai once. Hope they find it for you. Look forward to catching up xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise. Sadly they have replied that they didn't find it... why aren't I surprised??? But it's good to be home anyway, and I bought a replacement watch today! Thanks for all your participation in the blog, Denise. Always loved reading your comments!
