An interesting beginning

The plan is to begin my journey in Dublin. Corbyn is accompanying me for the first week before I start school back in Spain. We bought our tickets to Dublin way ahead of time with Ryanair (infamously known for their strict no refund policies) because they were relatively cheap. Also, Corbyn's checked bag was 15 pounds over the limit. He had to stuff everything into his other bag haha. Just a humorous side note. 

We got to the airport in Austin to find out our connecting flight to Dallas was delayed an hour due to mechanical issues. Not a big deal. Corbyn could sense my anxiety, and assured me we'd still make it on time. I believed him a little bit. 

We boarded an already delayed flight to find out we'd be sitting through another delay because the cargo door refuses to obey them. How can anyone be sure this huge hunk of machinery won't decide to disobey again mid flight? I'm going through emergency landing scenarios in my head. I'd save the women and children first, don't worry.

They "resolved" the issue after about 30 minutes. These delays made things very interesting.. I think we can catch our flight to Madrid, if Corbyn runs fast enough. We'll probably want to stop for ice cream too, but that can wait.
