Now Playing: Leaving, on a Jet Plane
Well, I'm finally back home in Minnesota. As good as it is to be back, I'm more than a little sad to have left Ireland. I really enjoyed my time there, so much so that I would have willingly participated in my own abduction in order to stay!! I guess that means that I'll just have to go back, hopefully sooner rather than later.

The flight over was relatively uneventful. I actually managed to hold myself together until we landed in Minneapolis. It wasn't until then that I started to tear up, and since I tend to wear my emotions on my face, even the customs officer noticed, saying that I looked sad. Well, I was sad! I was happy to be home, but sad to have left Ireland.

The airline managed to 'misplace' one of my suitcases, even though it was properly labeled. Fortunately it wasn't lost forever to the bowels of airline bureaucracy!

Two brights spots upon coming home was that I went to go see 'Billy Joel's Moving Out' with my friend Kate (it was AWESOME!!!!), and my two nephews are in town with my brother Ken and his wife. That and my bed, and microwaves. Oh, how I missed them!!

I've transfered all of my pictures onto my computer here at home and hopefully will have my scrapbook done soon. Just a little task of putting it all together.

This will be my last blog. My time in Ireland was wonderful and exciting and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity for the experience. It sounds cliche, but it truly was the experience of a lifetime.

So this is Andrea Middendorf, signing off. Good luck and good night.
