The Journey Continues

After a few hours of sleep on the plane, we woke Tuesday morning to find ourselves flying over Ireland with less than 2 hours left in our flight- a welcome relief after a night sleeping upright in coach seats.

We deboarded, went through customs (fairly easy), found our luggage (all three pieces- yea!), and made our way out of the airport to board a bus to take us to another terminal where we would grab a coach to Oxford. This was less easy considering the weight that was currently on our backs, under our arms, and in our hands. 

Brandon had read up a little beforehand on what buses traveled to which terminals, and so we managed to get to the right terminal the first time. I waited with our cart of luggage while he bought our tickets, and then we proceeded to the bus stop that would take us to Oxford. A short thirty minutes later, we were admiring the English countryside from our window and using the coach Wi-Fi. (Which was pretty cool.)

We arrived an hour later at the bus station in Oxford. Hauling a combined 7 pieces of luggage, we rattled up a cobblestone road (to the amusement of several people enjoying a coffee at a shop in the square) to a line of taxis, our final mode of transportation in getting to our new home at 107 Banbury Road.

Overall it was not a difficult journey. We were tired, and we slept 13 hours that night to prove it, but so many things could have gone wrong that didn't. We are grateful to God for a safe and speedy arrival. Thanks to everyone who prayed for our travels!

Soon to come- a look inside our flat!
