August 1

Let the Irish adventure begin. Woke up. Showered. Packed and headed out the door for the airport-a! Trains take you to planes here and that is exactly what we did! Once we got to the airport we stood in a long line to get our check-in print out stamped so that we could go through security. We had some problems with Megan’s boarding pass and she ended up forking over 40 pounds. Bummer. I’m just glad she made it! I’m pretty sure I let out a sigh of relief once we were all there on the plane!

Today I was on one! Excited about anything and everything! So you can only imagine what happened when we picked up our rental car and I found out they upgraded us to a shiny black BMW! Holla! Yes, I did lye on the vehicle. I did wear a curler in my hair on the train. I did make the girls take pics of us boarding the plane. I did upset the stewardess when I told her that I had to use the restroom even though she already told me no! And when I asked her if it would be okay to go when she turned the other way.

Two hours later we finally found the hotel! I’m just glad that Terri has been so good about driving us around on the left hand side of the road! Our Absolute hotel is absolutely sleek and modern. We took a short walk into town and ate at Eddie Rockets. I guess it’s the European version of Johnny Rockets. Megan, Terri, Susie and I stayed up talking and laughing. Mainly at my incomplete sentences! What a day!
