  • What’s the crack?

    What happens when you miss your flight? You get to the airport as soon as you can, cry to the nice Aer Lingus man, get really lucky that he is only charging a fee rather than making us buy a brand new ticket, and plan to camp in the airport for the next 7 hours.

    Actually, I have to admit that I’ve enjoyed these past few hours because I ate my first big Irish breakfast and I’ve been completely passed out sleeping in a booth in the food court. I must be beyond exhausted to sleep 3 solid hours upright in the middle of a bustling airport with tons of people all around.

    So how was my first day in Dublin? (more…)

  • Day 1: Dublin

    It is about 2 am where I am; 8pm back home. I have no yet slept since I woke up before my departure on may 8 when I woke at 7 am. Being here feels surreal so far. Since I have to wake up in 2 hours to catch my flight, I’m going to slept and update this blog while I’m waiting in the airport tomorrow morning. Goodnight !!

  • Whiskey time at 4

    Tammy and I just took a tour at the Jameson distillery. We also were selected as volunteers to do a whiskey tasting between Irish, Scottish, and American whiskeys. Irish wins!!

  • I’m in Dublin!

    I made it! Flight touched down around 7:30 this morning. The flight went really well considering my numb butt (those seats are brutal) and my seat companion frequently passing gas (ew). My passport is stamped and now I am waiting in the airport to meet up with Tammy. We are supposed to find each other in an hour when she arrives and then we play around in Dublin. :)

    Sending my love to my family and friends! I can’t believe I’m actually here!!
