After much drama that included a lost/stolen wallet and passport (I'm actually home now trying to get charges removed that were put on my credit and ATM cards in the few hours between it being stolen and me reporting it gone). Of course, no passport or drivers licence meant no photo id so no getting on my flight from Philly to DC. Thankfully I have wonderful parents and the drive to the airport was a mere 2 1/2 hours so they came to pick me up. Hey-- I did ask before I left if they'd pick me up at the airport when I got home-- I never specified which airport! While waiting for them, I spent an interesting few hours in the international arrival area in the Philly airport where there is NOTHING-- no travelers assistance people at the desk (despite having a desk), no way to hear or make pages, no airport staff, no security guards other than the one who showed up about 10 pm to read the newspaper and hit on me-- just basically a holding area with a bank of pay phones and a change making machine that doesn't work and some round banquets to sit on. Very depressing. I knew I should have stayed in Ireland.
On a lighter note, ALL pictures are up on the web. Here's the link. Enjoy!

- Celtic spirituality is my path, poetry is my practice, nourshing and encouraging others by creating a safe space for people to share their stories is my work . . . be it through writing, leading pilgrimages and retreats, teaching meditation or offering spiritual direction. When I'm not doing the above, you can find me reading, drinking tea, digging in the dirt, or satisfying my wanderlust.
