My sisters and I have always wanted to visit Europe together, and last year, we decided 2018 would be the year. My stepmom had never been, so we decided it was time for her to see more of the world with us. After a lot of back and forth, we decided on London and Dublin. Thursday, May 24th, we took off on our 7-hour, red-eye flight across the Atlantic. Note: I highly recommend doing a red-eye, because you’re able to sleep on the plane and acclimate to the new time zone much easier than you would with a daytime flight. We arrived around 11 am, which gave us the whole day to explore!
