48 Hours from now we'll be at the Chicago airport, and 60 hours from now we'll be in County Limerick, yeah?
My guesses for the official in-flight entertainment on Aer Lingus:

-- Memoirs of a Geisha
-- 2 episodes of a BBC sitcom that will involve antiques, a maid costume, or trains.
On a scale of 1 to 10, my delight in saying "Aer Lingus": Friggin' eleven!

I'm hoping for a Jenny Lopez movie marathon on the plane, starting with Gigli.
