descended through the clouds we were greeted with the emerald isle in all her glory; Ireland is a beautiful place! &nbsp;The Dublin airport is MUCH larger than St, John&#8217;s, and was about as hectic and frantic as we imagined it would be. &nbsp;Almost immediately after getting off our plane we had to clear Irish customs. &nbsp;The customs agents were super courteous and even opened an extra lane just for the Scouts. &nbsp;After a good hike we found our baggage and actually recovered all 33 bags quickly and easily. &nbsp;So far so good&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

as the hike through the Dublin airport was likely twice as long! &nbsp;We managed to follow the signs to the tunnel to Terminal 2 (we arrived in Terminal 1). &nbsp;We had to take the &#8220;lift&#8221; down a level to check in, before taking the &#8220;lift&#8221; up two levels for departures. &nbsp;The Aer Lingus staff were awesome, and also waived the fees for our extra bags;

the time we finally arrived at security we were all soaked with sweat and about ready for a break. &nbsp;We had to remove pretty much everything, place anything resembling a liquid in a clear plastic bag, remove our electronics, etc, etc before screening. &nbsp;Eric was once again &#8220;randomly&#8221; selected as were more than half of us, lol! &nbsp;When we finally gathered our belongings and redressed we continued on to the &#8220;Loop&#8221;. &nbsp;Scouter Amanda and I dashed for the &#8220;Coffee Express&#8221; with our Scouts in tow, but were rewarded with a pretty &#8220;meh&#8221; coffee&#8230; it scratched the itch though, lol! &nbsp;When we located our gate number we noticed a sign beside it warning of a 15min hike *sigh* and off we went. &nbsp;We rode escalators, lifts, moving sidewalks, went up ramps, down ramps, winded here and there until we finally found gate 307A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\"><li

some sleep; I for one enjoyed at least a solid two hours which is already WAY better than CJ&#8217;13 \ud83d\ude42 &nbsp;The morning started off just right as I woke up not even 30 seconds before the coffee cart reached my seat. As we descended through the clouds we were greeted with the emerald isle in all her glory; Ireland is a beautiful place! &nbsp;The Dublin airport is MUCH larger than St, John&#8217;s, and was about as hectic and frantic as we imagined it would be. &nbsp;Almost immediately after getting off our plane we had to clear Irish customs. &nbsp;The customs agents were super courteous and even opened an extra lane just for the Scouts. &nbsp;After a good hike we found our baggage and actually recovered all 33 bags quickly and easily. &nbsp;So far so good&#8230; Well for kids that were nervous about the hikes at the Haarlem Jamborette, worry no more as the hike through the Dublin airport was likely twice as long! &nbsp;We managed to follow the signs to the tunnel to Terminal 2 (we arrived in Terminal 1). &nbsp;We had to take the &#8220;lift&#8221; down a level to check in, before taking the &#8220;lift&#8221; up two levels for departures. &nbsp;The Aer Lingus staff were awesome, and also waived the fees for our extra bags; gotta love traveling as a Scout!
