As it turns out, flying to Europe as a 27 year old is much different than flying to Europe as a 20 year old. I was not expecting to be jet lagged - and it took a bigger toll on me than it used to. But it didn't matter too much, because hi, we were going to Europe!
It was reassuring to watch our bags get loaded onto the plane leaving LA. Even though I've taken loads of flights, and only once have had a bag lost, once is enough to be paranoid about it.
We had a stop over in Chicago, which was an interesting experience. Aer Lingus is a really small airline, and so we flew domestic to Chicago, had lunch at a Chinese food place that had REALLY good sesame chicken, and then exited security only to switch terminals and go back through security. And trust me when I say that eating lunch first was a good idea - there is no food except candy bars and bottled soda in the international terminal!
We didn't have to wait in the international terminal long and got on the awesome plane to Dublin!
We got our own TV screens and remotes, and there were only two seats in the aisle. It was a pretty awesome way to spend the flight!
I highly recommend Aer Lingus - we already want to go back, and I'll be following their website for cheap tickets!

Jet-lag is a bitch. I managed to avoid it this time on my trip to Germany by sleeping on the plane some (drinks in the airport and on the plane helped with that) and staying awake once we landed. It really helped, and I wasn't too messed up.
TVs in the seats are key for international travel. So many games and movies to keep you entertained!
