Last Day April 27
Dinesh McGinty
Our last day started out in Belvedere’s “canteen” where the exchange students and the host brothers chatted for a while. The sunny day was the perfect pick me up for the last day with our host brothers. It was a heartfelt farewell that we shared and many of us are looking forward to the October exchange in the fall. After our goodbyes, we departed on a spacious double decker bus, quite different than the usual 12 seat van. The “brief” flight lasted 6 hours and 54 minutes and we arrived exhausted at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport at 2pm. During the 5 and a half hour layover we ate, talked, and caught up on some homework.
The weather in Ireland has been fantastic for our 2 week stay. Every day was sunshine. We all packed rain gear in anticipation of rain, but we didn’t need it at all. Our host families have been wonderful and we will all look back on this experience positively.
We all owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Charles Drane for his work behind the scenes in setting up this blog. It has been a fun way to keep everyone up to date on all our activities. Thanks, Charlie!
