I really wasn't going to write on here today--but here I am. The hostel, unlike London, actually has cheap internet. One euro for as long as you want. Compared to the 4 euros/hour most of the internet cafes around here seem to charge--yet they're always full. Guess what? Dublin is actually more expensive than London. They don't have the pound, but they just increase the amount of Euros. Annoying. Again--this makes me want to stay here for a shorter time and run off to the continent where things are cheaper. Last night when I got back to my room, even though it was only 11pm--everyone was asleep. So in the dark I attempted to get ready. I am no Stevie Wonder so this is quite the challenge. And by that I mean I'm not black. Obviously. ... read more

Here I am in my father's country. Sort of. There are a lot of pubs here, but no lawn mowers, so we're 50/50 here. I wish I had my green coat so I could do my famous jig. All the plane, train, bus business of today really wore me out. I seem to have a knack for getting to a city and being confused as to where my hostel is. The people here are FAR friendlier than London already--so that's been nice. I had a wee bit of a delay on my flight, so I didn't actually land until about 5pm, so by the time I took the bus (the driver hit on me, he had nice blue eyes and a nicer accent. I have made a promise to myself to keep my clothes on in ... read more

I've finally arrived. I got maybe 4 hours of sleep on the flight. When I sat down, I had the middle row of 4 to myself. But then soon after take-off, some lady put her 8ish year old son to sleep in the 2 seats on the other end, so I had to manage to get comfy (ei. cramped) in 2 seats to try to sleep. I was exhausted at that point from walking around NYC all day and I don't have anywhere to sleep here in Dublin, so I really had to manage to get some sleep on the plane. In a couple of hours, I'm going to hop on a train to Tralee (West coast), stay the night there, and then head to Dingle (Peninsula) tomorrow morning. I'm spending about 3 days in Dingle ... read more

Ireland - Dublin & Bru Na Boinne Wednesday 26th - Friday 27th March Up early today...the bus left Doolin for Dublin at 8am. We are looking forward to seeing Dublin properly, as we only had a quick look when we flew in from London and went straight down to Kilkenny. Its a 5 hour trip, with stops in a few places along the way - there are so many picturesque towns and villages on The Burren, all full of charm and character.... its the kind of place you could just stay for weeks and spend your time exploring. Anyway the trip was good, Reagan and I slept for a lot of it and we rolled into Dublin just after 2pm. Its big! We grabbed a cab from the bus station over to Avalon House, which is ... read more

Even though the excitement in and around Aalborg has been at an all time high, I decided to broaden my horizens and discover the beauties of Ireland... during St Patricks Day. I assumed a couple of things before I made it to Ireland. One that it would be all horse drawn carts and swords and castles and such. Two that everyone drank Guinness alot and it was constantly rainy. Three that I would be able to use my credit card anywhere. If you don't know, credit cards don't work in Denmark, because intrest rates are covered by the government. I was halfway right. For one, it rained only twice during my seven days, and whereas I saw the castles and carts, they haven't been used for a few years. Apparently I missed the hey day. I ... read more
