Welcome to Dublin

We had a leisurely flight over the Atlantic thanks to Chad, my dad's boss, bumping us up into business class. The chairs were motorized and would rotate down into cot-like beds. The food was awesome.

We arrived in Dublin around 8:30 am local time, after figuring out immigration, baggage claim, currency exchange and car rental stuff, we were off and running. I had the fortune of being the first to test my skills on the left side of the roadway. After a couple of wrong turns and some confusing turn-abouts, we actually got to our hotel relatively easily after about a 5 mile jaunt straight through the city. My dad was overly nervous about my driving - I'd be even more nervous with him behind the wheel.

We checked into the hotel a few minutes back - free Internet means I can quickly upload a couple of photos - here is the view from our hotel balcony of downtown Dublin. We're probably going to hop on a bus tour and get a bite to eat after a few minutes. We are a bit tired and disshelved but have to keep going to fight off the jet lag.







More to come later...
