Home Again!

Our day began very early... We departed for Dublin Airport at 5 AM! Ms. Duarte said goodbye to us, because she was staying in Ireland for a few extra days, and we were on our way with Mr. Bizga. After several hours, our driver woke us up to inform us that we had arrived at the airport. After a hour or so we were checked in and ready to go back home.

Our journey home was smoothe until we reached New York to find out that our flight to Cleveland had been cancelled! Delta offered to fly us to Columbus - but I did not accept this offer. We had round trip tickets to Cleveland and to Cleveland we were going! After some negociation, we were rebooked on Continental Airlines for Cleveland. Our transfer to Continental was relatively smoothe (if you do not consider the NYC airport transfer, taxis, or baggage problems!).
We arrived in Cleveland safe and sound Friday evening. The students were greeted enthusiasticallyby their parents. It was a scene right out of the opening of Love Actually...




Our time in Northern Ireland was amazing and is truly hard to put into words. The success of the peace process there is a model for the world. Whatever the poltical arrangement is in the future is for the people of Northern Ireland alone to determine. It was a honor to spend time with them.

Peace,
Mr. Bizga
