Yeah, I'm here now, and the package arrived safely. I was a bit worried when I got home and there was no package and no delivery notice, but apparantly customs noticed it, because they charged me extra to accept it. Oh well, what can you do? It's a chance you take with this sort of thing. I suppose we were due at least one delay. It will be on the way back to Dawn tomorrow morning.
Off topic: We did have a ton of fun in Dublin, and we raised many a pint of Guinness to absent friends! Kidlet & I were both sick, but we had a good time anyway. He loved the St. Patrick's Day parade, and we took him to the zoo-he got to see elephants for the 1st time. Funny that Dublin zoo has 5 elephants and neither of the 2 zoos we've been to in Italy have any.
