Ok so we arrived in Edinburgh, SCotland.. It had to be the scariest flight ever!! well first off we had to wake up at 4am to catch a bus to our ryan air flight. The bus ride was another hour and a half and then the time to load our baggage up on to our flight. I knew we had a prblem with having overage on baggage weight at the airport.. how abou the school had to front about 1500$ in overage charges...eeeeeeek... o well so we finally got on the flight and all was well until we hit such bad [View Full Entry]

Tomorrow night it is time to say goodbye to IReland Entirely!.. our bus leaves at 4 am to go to our ryan air flight to Edinburgh Scotland. Our dilemma tonight would be that ryan air flights only allow 1 bag 30 lbs only (before leaving home we each were allowed 2 bags, 60 lb capacity so u could imagine how much luggage we already had, not too add everything we had bought in ireland already).. anything else would make us have to pay overage charges.. Well.. we didnt want that to happen so professor sands said that we had to shove [View Full Entry]

Absinthe=trouble Vodka and red bull= trouble.. Ok so last night was unbeleiveable. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Ok so in our hostel we did shots of absinthe, which NOOO u do not hallucinate off of it. u just get extremely happy. And then Dvora and I decided to get a bottle of vodka and mix it with red bull. Everyone was sick and tired of waiting for us to get done finishing the bottle, so we had to take it with us. It was a crazy night in Dublin with Halloween coming upon us. Scooby Doo and a dude were out in the streets. The [View Full Entry]

We finally arrived in Dublin, we are staying on a very busy street and we are staying at the Kinlay House another hostel. it is not the cleanest place, but it will do... Jen, Bev, Me, Dvora, Zach, and jeff are sharing a room, there are 3 bunkbeds, and the shower is disgusting, but its doable. Today we decided to get around and look at the city. We did this hop on hop off type tour. It bring you all around dublin in a double decker, and at each stop you can get off, and just go back to the station [View Full Entry]

It was just another city like every other in ireland really known for shopping, everywhere you went there was a store.. the professor just wanted us to get out there and see what else there is. We also came upon a man singing on top of a trash can... Wow... We walked around the city, and actually went to see a comedian, very liked over there. His name is Karl Spain. After we left galway this morning, we went back to the [View Full Entry]

Today was a very random day. I decided to go on a little trip with Mr Sands(our professor) and Greg, another student on the trip, around the area. Mr Sands had a rental car, so it was easy to get around. We stopped in Dingle to get a bite to eat, it was really good. We went to the Derrymore Strand of beaches, and we wanted to go to this one place called "Castle Gregory" because greg thought it was an actual castle. Nope, it was just another town haha.. We then made our way up through Brandon Mountain and Connors [View Full Entry]

Since jen and i stayed home while everyone else was kissing the blarney stone, the neihbors decided to take jen and i out to the bar. Well... it was more than we bargained for. I think they thought we could handle more... This was not the case. Jen got sick. I almost did. I think we just ended up passing out. All in all tho we met some great new irish people, girls actually. They were really sweet. ... I also am adding some pics from Horans Night Club when we went with the neighbors. A bunch of us ended up [View Full Entry]
