Crochet Guild of America: Tour of Ireland and Scotland Day 1: March 29, 2003 The Adventure Begins report by CGOA member Barbara Pretzsch

To Ireland with the Crochet Guild of America! What a great experience this was.

There were 16 of us from all across America and Canada. As I was waiting in line at the Aer Lingus counter in Chicago I saw a crocheted hat in the sea of waiting customers. I thought it might belong to Tosca Mark, our group leader and President of Crochet Guild of America.

I discovered the gate number and left to take up "residence" at the gate. Although it was crowded with passengers I found a seat on the aisle and sat with my crocheting. Soon Tosca came up to me (it had been her), then Nancy Peterson and Kitty Sheffield found us and finally Mary Lou Johnson found us as we were getting ready to load.

We then spent the next nearly 8 hours in the air to land at Dublin local time about 10:30 AM.
