Monday 7th September 2009 - Labour Day
Gettin up after the party was tough, but we all managed to get out in time for the taxi, even if we had to dump some excess baggage in Tarbert's on the way!
We had to balance the weight between suitcases to accomodate Delta's wishes but other than that the flight to New York was uneventful, particularly for Laura and Ellen who slept most of the way. BTW if you are a movie fan - don't fly with Delta - we had seen them all before.
JFK was grand too - until we tried to depart the - gate when it was discovered that the stewardess (only one on this tiny plane) was out of hours and we had to wait on the tarmac for an hour for a replacement. This delay added to the processing time for work permits and visas meant we didin't get to the hotel until 1900 (2400 Irish).
Sinead, Chris and family met us there and we had a quick dinner with them before collapsing into bed.
This morning Paddy hired a 7 seater (known as a minivan over here) for our trip to Kingston. Roisin is having coffee/breakfast with Sinead and the girls while Chris, Paddy, Patrick, Robin and Ben are swimming in the pool. We'll be leaving shortly for our first view of Kingston!
