The last full day of our Irish Road Trip, we start by checking out the flowers laid at a memorial for Queen Elizabeth's death, then rush out of the old mill stay in Bushmills to head north and east on the Antrim Coast.

We'll see Curfew Tower in Cushendall (with a fascinating history!), and pass through the Red Arch Tunnel. Next down the road is the ruins of the picturesque Red Bay Castle. We get hopelessly lost near Belfast Airport, but find our way to the M1, where we cross the Mary McAleese Bridge, one of Ireland's longest cable stayed bridges.

Then we'll head to the Dublin Airport car rental return and wait for the shuttle to the Carlton Dublin Airport.

After dinner and a night at the hotel, we spin into a panic over an earlier than expected boarding time for our return flight to the US! On the shuttle to the airport, we meet Garth Brooks fans from Denmark (Garth Brooks took over Dublin with five shows at Croke Park during our trip) and a bus driver who was also a Garth Brooks concert goer, all of whom lightened our mood.

At the airport's Aer Lingus counter, we met a supervisor who took brilliant care of us, calmed our nerves, and got us through the security clearance and customs process smoothly! We'll cue you in about US Preclearance from Dublin Airport (the source of our earlier boarding time, and link to a video to help you make your way easier than we did.

A little duty-free shopping, one last Guinness, and we were headed home, with Ireland forever in our hearts.
