Travel Journey EWR to DUB El0101:

This day started with me waking up to maybe 4 hours of sleep from the previous night. I was very nervous about traveling the next day and my anxiety began to kick in, I have no idea why because I love travel journeys. I love booking flights and exploring different airlines. I love being on flights!

I had packed my suitcase two nights before because there was so much that I had to pack for the trip and because I don't like packing last minute. I had to make sure that my bags had a lock and a cute bag tag so that it was easy to identify at baggage claim. I got ready in my sorority house which is a short walk to College Place bus stop. I double-checked that I had everything with me and locked my suitcase. I had to drag my suitcase down a flight of stairs which wasn't as miserable as I thought it would be and drag it across the road.

I got on the bus around the same time one of my friends tried to face time me to wish me on having a safe journey. I quickly connected to my air pods to speak to her on the bus. After that, I was waiting for my roommate Uchechi to board the bus and two other friends Disha and Mehak. Those were the only students that I knew very well before the trip started. We all sat in our individual seats as we had carry-on bags with us.

The bus ride went by very quickly but was very tiring at the same time. Once we reached EWR, I started to feel excited! We all went to the check-in line to find out that we were way early for our flight and just decided to stand in line and watch for the Aer Lingus representatives to start check-in. We all proceeded to TSA and after going through TSA, a few students and I went to eat dinner at one of the airport restaurants because we were so hungry and knew that dinner in the airplane wouldn’t be served till much later in the night. I was glad that I did this as I was able to get to know the students on the trip well.
