Two flights, one bus ride and a band-aid later, I have arrived in Ireland and successfully navigated the mean streets of Dublin (not really). Currently I am sitting in the lobby of Globetrotters Hostel awaiting a clean room. Alright, mom, clean-ish.
The flights were pretty uneventful. I got a wicked headache/nausea between my flight to JFK and my layover in the airport. Luckily I somehow managed to get some sleep on the flight to Dublin that cleared up the whole bit.
For once picking the window seat paid off! As we approached Ireland the sun was just rising over the horizon. I will not be going to the eastern coast of Ireland but! I got to see the Cliffs of Moher (or what I can only suppose are the Cliffs of Moher) from the plane. http://www.elainelisle.com/images/Cliffs%20of%20Moher2.jpg
I had my first "scare" while in the shower. Well two actually. First of all the bathroom was freezing and the shower ice cold. I almost didn't shower for fear of getting chilled but i smelled pretty bad. So anyways I jumped in and thank God it warmed up. Then, I heard voices in my room. Ok. Roommates...hmm, those voices sound male and French....omg they are male and French. Am I in the wrong room? Did I reserve a male/female room on accident? So I "man-ed" up (ha ha) and finished up in the bathroom. I figured that I needed to make it look like I knew i was going to be in a mixed room to avoid any trouble. Lo and behold there was no one there. The walls are just paper-thin and there is a courtyard outside my window where people can sit and smoke. Hence. a troupe of french males. A few moments later a Taiwanese girl stumbled into the room and she and I are planning to get supper together.
Starting tomorrow I hope to have many exciting adventures. As for today, I just took a much needed nap and am about to set out looking for food and water and a Radioshack.... technology foils my plans once again. If i don't find the right adapters to make everything work Ireland is most definitely not going to see the more feminine side of me. That may be just fine.
