AND HERE WE GO......
Well The time has come, brave readers who have decided to follow my exciting trip that will entail my month in Ireland have so much to look forward to....Kind of. I have decided to jot down, when I can of course any interesting things or thoughts that I have had while I am on my trip. So without further delay, let us begin. It is currently 10:05 in the morning here in the wonderful Dublin. I am currently sitting on a couch in the hotel lobby until 12:30 waiting for a room to open up, which doesn't bother me one bit, because I'm too tired to be bored or have any will to even move.....I actually feel bad for the bed in my room because I am going to sleep on it with furry!!! I apologize if this first entry is a little scattered I've never done this before and am just writing down whatever comes to me...so mostly nonsense. My first international plane ride went well....turns out the T before a letter in Chicago International Airport stands for terminal...not toad, toaster or some other ridiculous thing that I thought of before I asked the lovely TSA agent and she most kindly pointed out my ignorance to me......not before laughing in my face.....I'm in love.....Just goofin in case my mom reads this too.....she was an awful person....but moving on the plane ride to Ireland was great. I met a really nice woman from Scotland, I didn't get her name, but I did offer her my neck pillow and she said no, but that's ok because it didn't stay inflated anyway, so, if she did take it she probably would of thought I was playing some cruel joke on her and in turn would of led her to think all Americans are cruel and devilish individuals.....any way aside from the crying baby, cackling elderly, and screaming middle aged man who swears that "Picture and Picture really is the best way to watch TV" it was a great flight. Ummmm what else can I spew out here....Well my first experience driving on the left side of the road was goofy. I had a nice cabbie, but he really had trouble understanding why I didn't get a hotel closer to the University I'm staying at....He told me "I really Buggered that up, mate," which, I'm not sure what that means but if I were to translate I would think it means something like, Well young man you made a lovely decision to go so far out of your way, because I am the one getting paid to hall you 20 miles in the opposite direction....thank you for the money...SUCKER!!! For the record though it isn't 20 miles in the opposite direction I just said that to be dramatic, I hope it worked. Now that I am here I really am excited, I appreciate the opportunity and look forward for all the possibilities it has to offer. Well I think that is it for me for now, I hope to keep up on this post but can't promise anything. Until the next time readers.....don't forget to stretch before any physical activity.

Sounds like your booking agent didn't do a very good job... hate that when that happens.
ReplyDeleteIn defense of your booking agent... I understand the goal was cheap, not close. Good thing your momma gave you extra money for unexpected things like costly cab rides. Enjoy your experience in Ireland starting right after you have a good nights sleep.
ReplyDeleteThis is sweet Matt! Look forward to reading more! I think writing down anything that comes to mind is the best way to get things out! Take lots of pictures mate!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good meal at Micky D's...
