Firstly is correct. The other should be at last, not lastly...

I'd prefer "take", which I think is what you're getting at.

It's exactly what I'm getting at!
For me bring is an action that goes towards the speaker and take is away from the speaker.

He brought me a coffee.
I take my lunch to work.

So, if the American English speakers see nothing wrong in the use of bring and take in the original sentence it's an example of BR Eng V Am Eng, is it?

US variety here: sounds fine to me.

In Spanish, the distinction between "llevar" and "traer" is clear, just like you use it in British English (I suppose).

You might have seen "BYOB" parties. Bring your own beer.

And we frequently say, "I have to bring the kids to school" or "I'm bringing her to the airport tomorrow morning."

I totally agree. I have also heard Irish people 'bringing' things when I would 'take' them.

I would never say either of those. I would take the kids to school or bring them home from school, & take someone to the airport.

It would have to be lastly or finally.

At last = por fin.
