![]() (Update– He is just the sweetest thing! No really, the sweetest!) It was beyond comforting to talk with my family and be apart of this moment of joy from 3000 miles away. However, it wasn’t until several hours later after we figured out all our pins and pass codes and found a sweet spot at our B&B that I was finally able to talk to my mom.īaby Kaden had arrived! Mother and son were doing great. A foggy day on Inis Mor, Aran Islands, Co. I couldn’t wait to call back and hear all the details. To be fair, the reception might have been bad on any phone carrier since I was on an 8.5 mile wide island in the Atlantic. We were on the Aran Islands and reception wasn’t clear. While I couldn’t quite make out what my mother said, I assumed it had to the good news. On the 6 th day of our trip, I got a muffled message from home. It worked fairly well then, so I thought it would be fine for our time in Ireland. ![]() I had recently rented an international cell phone when I led a group of students to Central America. I’ll be honest, I didn’t really do my research about calling from Ireland to the US as much as I probably should have on this very special occasion. I couldn’t possibly go two weeks without hearing the news firsthand. Typically, we email our families to check in when we are away, but that just wasn’t going to do this time. I don’t think I realized the importance of being able to call the US from Ireland until my husband and I had scheduled a trip at the same time my sister was due to have a baby.
