It’s a long & exhausting trip, and it’s not getting any easier. The Indy to Dublin route opened after I booked, or I’d have at least tried that, to take out an airport and some time.
For some reason, the host/server at the hotel restaurant was singing Julio Iglecias (?) songs to himself, and seemed to want to discuss them? Not really the breakfast I had planned.
I’m going to call the sweatpants as flight attire experiment a qualified success.
Definitely more comfortable than jeans, but also right on the edge of being too warm; When I first put them on in the airport I was concerned that I’d have to change back, because they were really warm compared to shorts. Fortunately, that faded as I got used to it.
The pocket situation was an issue, so if I were to try this again, I’d probably want sweatpants with cargo pockets which close, so I could be confident that my phone or wallet or e-reader would stay put.
Because of flight times I didn’t get significantly tired until almost at Dublin, which wasn’t ideal. Watched a few movies or parts thereof along the way. Dozed a little between Dublin & Heathrow.
I may be misremembering, but I don’t think anybody looked at my passport on arrival; I collected my bag, went through the honour system section for customs, and that was it. Free to go to get a coffee and try to wake up a bit.
I think the last time someone looked at my passport was boarding the plane in Dublin, which is unusual, maybe?
Got a reasonably easy run on the trains, which I was glad of; Enough of a gap to calmly walk between them.
