Just a quick update to let everyone know we arrived safe and sound. Flights were uneventful and we arrived in Dublin 30 minutes ahead of schedule thanks to a strong tail wind. We waited for our friends to arrive on their flight from Chicago, about an hour. Kasey and Eric soon arrived and off we went to find our rental car.
We had some adventures trying to find the rental car place. Turned out we needed a shuttle from the company to get to their location. Got directions to get us our apartment site, but missed a turn and ended up taking a nice tour around and then through Dublin. Driving on the left, with the stick shift in your left hand, is quite an adventure. I tried to help with directions as best I could. We eventually found our apartment location and checked in. Very nice place! 'll try to post a couple pictures here or on Facebook when I have more time.
We immediately decided we needed some rest. It was, after all, 12 Noon here, which for our bodies meant 7 a.m. We had gotten only a little sleep on the plane over the past 24 hours! We've taken a 5 hour nap at this point. Feeling better. Coming up on 6 p.m. local time. Looking now to go and get a decent meal and maybe check out some of the Tall Ships Festival. Real sleep should come easy tonight.
Oh, and we were greeted by a very pleasant day! Partly sunny skies and upper 60's or so. Let's hope we can enjoy more just like this one.
