MY JOURNEY FROM ALBANIA TO BELFAST

14 SEPTEMBER 2013 MY JOURNEY FROM ALBANIA TO BELFAST. A week later, I reflect on that "TRAVEL GLITCH" when I got to RINAS NENE TERESA AIRPORT, when leaving Tirana. The British airways Flight I had been booked on, had been rescheduled days BEFORE RESERVATION WAS MADE FOR ME BY WORLDWIDE TRAVEL. British Airways offered to re-schedule me on a night flight on Sunday,to arrive in London at 2.00a.m. on Monday. This plan was not acceptable. I was glad to have Sister Mirjam with me as we searched for a solution. ROME came to mind and there was just one seat left, which sufficed for me! An ongoing flight by AER LINGUS PRESENTED A PROBLEM, as the Albanian British Airways staff couldnotbook the flight, so I was temporarily moved onto BA Staff, inside the counter to make the booking. I was so intent on this task, I did not notice Mirjam filming the incident, until i saw it on Facebook later. I was so glad to get to Dublin and had a good onward journey to Belfast. Needless to say, the "GLITCH" is still in the hands of the WORLDWIDE TRAVEL AGENCY and our TRAVEL INSURANCE. Otherwise, all is well and life has been very good. Jubilee went smoothly - Sister Rose sang the psalm beautifully. My first "official" work day is on Wednesday next. With two Anglican Franciscan Brothers, I will help lead a one-day pilgrimage to Lough Derg!! Have a blessed weekend as we move into Autumn. Tomorrow, 15 September, Feast of Our Lady Of Dolours, marks the fourth anniversary of the beginning of our Albanian Mission adventure in MONS. BELGIUM. I thank God for every day of my time in ALBANIA. I KNOW it is time to be back in Ireland now and thank God it is good to be here.
