The first (technical day) started in the great state of Pennsylvania! I woke up from the goodnight sleep at our hotel, got some breakfast, and got on the road. We drove about ten minutes to the airport, where I met the group. I had a little bit of a scare when I forgot my passport, but luckily, my mom wasn’t too far behind, and my mom got it. We got through security without much trouble, saw John Fetterman for like 3 seconds, which was odd, and flew to Charlotte, NC. While we didn’t do a ton at Charlotte International, someone had told me it was small. Whoever it was, they will be branded a liar.

Then, after we got our bags into the rooms, my uncle, whose last day in town, picked me up and I went to his place to see him with my grandparents. After almost falling asleep there, we went back and got dinner at the oldest Pub in Ireland, the Brazen Head. My family tagged along too, which was nice. After that we my and a few others went on a walk through St Stephen’s Park for the end of the day
