MOVING TO A NEW COUNTRY IS HARD!The first part of our trip was easy. We flew to Calgary without any hitches. Garys mom and dad brought some of our luggage with them so we had less to take on the plane. Then we were on our own. I have a great pic of us and our luggage just before we handed it over to the airlines trusting it would arrive on time and in one piece. Ha! (pics have to wait until we get set up in our own home) . People were staring at us, I guess because we had the most luggage of anyone in the airport. We just had two bags a piece, very large bags, not over weight I might add, and a carry on each.

Well we said goodbye to our bags and went on with our journey. The first flight out of Calgary was delayed 2 hours so we sat in Calgary for 5 hours. Then we flew to Toronto only to run as fast as we could, Kirbey in a wheel chair pushed by a slow lady, only to find out we were to late for our connection to London(we thought we had connecting flights and they would save it for us), but the twins started to tear up and I was close when someone radioed to the ticket agent and asked if we were coming off an Air Canada flight and when he said yes they let us on!!!!! So then we had to run as fast as we could to get to the gate. I no longer want to be on The Amazing Race! We were suppose to have a relaxing 3 hours in Toronto to have dinner, not. Well it is now midnight our new time and they are feeding us dinner. Then we watched a movie. Needless to say we got all messed up. Gary was the only one who got any sleep. Then 5 hours later they fed us breakfast, we landed and were welcome to London. We got there on time, however, they gave me a hard time at the customs gate because I said I was moving to Ireland and I don't have a Euro passport so before I could give the lady a letter that we got from the Irish Immigration she took off to phone them and did not come back and our flight was starting to board. I finnaly hunted her down and gave her the letter just in time and she let me on. Yay! So 21 hours later, with no sleep, we were welcomed to Ireland by a crew of about 20 people with a welcome Swabeys banner and all. If these people still want us after the wreck they saw walk through the gate, me I mean, then they are very gracious. I will give you the luggage story later when I have pics.

We will be moving into our house on Tuesday with our funiture that is here now. We hope to also have a new car by then. Our mortage just finally went through yesterday after 3 months. They say that is fairly close to normal, they are slow here. So now that we have active banking we can get a car loan and a car,we think. We will find out today. Small car I might add, it does however seat 7, kind of. The weather has been lovely, mid 20s. We hope to get our dog Mungo on Wed. or Thur.

Well I will give you all more later, keep praying, we could tell you were!
