Since we've traveled to so many different areas I'll post this update here.
Our flight from Tampa to Chicago to Dublin on July 31 was fine. AA kept changing the gate in Chicago but that was the only stressor. We both kept our masks on in the airport and throughout the flight. Most people were maskless.
I'd prebooked the bus into Dublin, mainly because it dropped us off just around the corner from our hotel, so it was much cheaper than a taxi.
We spent 1 1/2 days in Dublin before departing on our 5 day tour. There were 9 of us on a 16 passenger van. We wore our masks for the first 2 days, then felt comfortable since we were in our own little bubble. The trip was wonderful, the guide very interesting, and the group was very friendly and compatible. And Art loved being able to sit back and enjoy the scenery.
We arrived back in Dublin around 6 p.m. The hotel had stored our 2 rolling bags for us since we returned there for our final night. The next morning we caught the same bus back to the airport and flew RyanAir to Edinburgh. Although I found the Dublin Airport a bit confusing, and the flight was delayed 30 minutes, everything went smoothly. We paid extra to have a checked bag and 2 carry-ons - packing for 3 months is challenging for me.
