We got up early and took the hotel shuttle over to the airport and tried our hand at getting a good breakfast this time, finally found that fabled McDonalds which was shocking, the food was quite different.
After that we boarded the plane which had a stopover in Shannon, Ireland for a few minutes, however it ended up being ridiculous-- they had us all get off the plane, go back through customs with all our stuff, then get BACK on the plane and re-takeoff. It was rather annoying. However, the plane was worth it! It was one of two models in the Aer Lingus line that had computers built in to each seat! I watched movies and played games the whole ride home! I watched Obsessed, Kn0wing (The latter of which sucked), and played some strange little games. After what seemed like forever we landed in Chicago, however, as it so happens to me on long flights, I wasn't feeling good, so I was dropped at home while everyone went out to eat, I was quite angry to discover that my computer had decided to break somehow, I would go into technical stuff but it'd bore everyone, so I'll just say it took about a week to fix, and by that time I'd forgotten all about updating this blog!
So in retrospect, Scotland was a ton of fun, but I don't want to do it again any time soon unless they discover a way to magically teleport you from Chicago to Scotland-- I HATE long flights!
