Please tell me how to explain to a 3-year old girl named Orla and her 5-year old sister Emma why it is 10 days after the day we were meant to arrive in Ireland and we are still not there? After all, Orla has a list of favorite places she wants to share with us and her Mom, Erin said her "friends from America" are coming to visit, so why aren't we there? Oh, I suppose you can show pictures of the Icelandic volcano spewing its ashes into the atmosphere. One can explain the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean; how we live in New York City and they live in County Kerry, Ireland. How we need to take a 6 1/2 hour flight from NYC to Shannon Airport and yes, good luck explaining how once in a million years, a volcano in between those two points acts exactly like a volcano is suppose to act, resulting in an airplane transportation fiasco. Heck, it's a hard concept for me to understand, mostly because I don't want to understand it if it means my vacatio...
....where taking the road less traveled IS the goal. The around-the-world travel experiences of Mom Estelle and daughter Estelle...yes, the two Estelles :)
