Heaviest rain in the rainy time I’ve been here. Hoping Ireland can handle that and there won’t be trouble at Shannon. If Ireland can, maybe Delta can’t. All will be made known. Unusually restful last night. I retired early, my departure is not until past noon, and I had reasonable confidence I knew how to set my phone alarm. All issues that can be anticipated are well. Was this a good trip? Not by a wide margin, yes. Worth the price and bother? Who knows? I’m unlikely to regret it, likely to look back on it with profit and instruction, and the mystery of whether I can travel again is solved. Can’t say it was exactly pleasurable or restful, but that may be the anxiety of departure.
