April 11 – Denver to Chicago to Dublin, Ireland
This is being written five days late, but I will try to be as complete as possible with events as they occurred. Part of the day’s activities can be said to really start two days previously. The night of April 9 and then again April 10 were relatively sleepless. We had been packing, sorting, re-sorting, arranging, re-arranging and, in general, being frustrated by the whole process.
As it would turn out, we also ended up without a reliable Internet connection two nights, slept rather than work online, and generally tried to get a start when possible. It is now the 15th of April, five days into our trip, and the bugs have been worked out, I think, as long as we get a reliable connection most of the time.
Airlines now have weight restrictions on the baggage they carry. This amounted to 50 lbs. for our large suitcases and 22 lbs. for our smaller carryons. Size was not a factor because we had already studied dimensions before we went from store to store to find suitable luggage.
So, once you know size and weight, you collect everything you want to take with you on the trip and then start filling up the cases. When the case is full, you weigh it. Then you take stuff out (usually) to cut the weight. Through the stages of this process, you might do this several times. The more you do it, the better your chances of having to leave something home you could use on the trip or, worse yet, forgetting something you will find you need but don’t have.

We began planning for this trip back in December, 2016, so we were getting to crunch time. Cyndie had not had the same problems with packing I had. The first packing of the large case was almost 10 lbs. heavy, and the smaller case came in at a whopping 27 lbs. I took things out, consolidated where possible, determined necessary vs. nice to have, and “worked” at packing and re-packing each night to the detriment of my sleep.
As it ultimately turned out, we saw all manner and types of luggage at the airport, got a cursory glance on the weighing scale from the gate agent, and will probably not have to be too concerned about weight until we begin to fly within the UK. Supposedly, things are checked a little more strictly than in America, probably because they can then force you to check the bag and pay the fee.
No problem getting our luggage in Chicago, but we did break a small caster on one carryon, making it difficult to pull along. We’ll try to fix that somehow before we come home. Other than that, the only problem has been weight (airplanes carry 50 lbs. very easily, but humans don’t, especially up stairs. We are already thinking of ways to “lighten the load” a bit on our return, even if we need to check a third bag.
TSA Pre-Check is great, but I still got X-rayed because I was wearing my knee braces. In Chicago, we had to transfer to the International Terminal, meaning a whole new TSA inspection, this time without pre-check. Shoes off, electronics out, one quart plastic bag and bottles visible, the whole nine yards. X-rays again because of the braces.
Photos and more journal coming…..I PROMISE!
