Aer Lingus is Grand 🍀

 I forgot to mention I was off ✈️ to the 🇺🇸 for a week 🙄

I am back early next week 

All ETSY orders will go out INSTANTLY!!

I haven’t flown in 8 years

CDG has changed

I browsed 

The Duty-free area heavily.

Late letters 💌 will get divine goodies from CDG Duty-free!

Boarding Aer Lingus, I found myself quietly singing🎵 

‘It’s a long way to Tipperary 🎵 

It’s a long way from home’

I was the only person onboard to partake of a yummy 😋 Christmas Cheese toastie. We don’t have those in Paris 🥐 

My flight ✈️ stopped off for 5 hrs(!) in

Dublin airport before heading to NYC.

What an absolute delight 🤸‍♂️

So many delicious things to eat.

And I did. Pas cher.

WHISKEY CHOCOLATE CAKE WAS POPULAR 

Difficult to restrain oneself.

VERY, VERY TEMPTING 

But I did with the tempting cakes.

We whizzed through US 🇺🇸 customs like a breeze. I could have taken an Irish cow 🐄 home maybe…

The Irish at the airport couldn’t have been more hospitable.

‘Isn’t it grand! 

Don’t be shy!’ 

Full of jokes to ease the tension of travel.

The flight to NYC was uneventful, calm, not crowded.

I stayed over with family & next day headed to Grand Central Station.

I made a bee 🐝 line to the Oyster Bar.

Clams on the 1/2 shell

Plus Ipswich Fried Clams = heaven.

JOHN YI FISH MARKET

The next day, 

At Reading Terminal, in Philadelphia(my home town)

Cherrystones(fresher,better,1/2 the $).

I did get a molasses cookie 🍪 Yum

Any other clam fanatics onboard?

Why else leave Paris?

Except for Sophie 🐶 beside me as I post. More to come ❤️ Stay tuned
