Just wanted to post a short blog to let ya'll know I made in to Ireland. Michelle accompanied me to the airport yesterday. Thank goodness because it was quite the walk through the airport to get to the terminal. My dislike for O'Hare grew even more yesterday. I'm definitely a Midway girl....get off CTA, follow the orange line and walk directly to security. None of this take this walkway, get on this tram, go up 5 escalators, walk down here, just to get to the ticket counter.
Anyways...
Ashley and I made it safe and sound to Ireland at 8:30 this morning (2:30am Central Time). We took an hour power nap on our flight to Donegal but other than that have yet to crash.
We had a 6 hour layover until our flight to Donegal so we dropped our luggage at All Hallows and went to explore. We found our way to Dublin City Centre from Drumconda today. We had quite the adventure figuring out the streets, bus system, and finding the things we needed. We almost got hit by a large van. Partly our fault because we didn't see the cross walk sign and for an instance forgot that people drive cars on the other side of the road.
We're in Donegal until Tuesday visiting with Ashley's friend, Jessica, and her husband, John. Dublin feels very much like Boston and Philly. Donegal is hills and water--my kind of Ireland. It's absolutely beautiful. Jessica and John live at the hill head of their lane so you can look out and see the bay, lock, or ocean--whatever they feel like calling it that day.
Time to shower, take another power nap and head out for an evening in Derry...
