In Dublin at last!!!

We're actually here!

The flights were uneventful: I took TWO Xanax, which caused me to sleep the entire trip. Yay! Hooked up with Ellen Ingram and her darling daughter at the Chicago airport, which was really nice!

The hotel is incredible: We're staying at Bewleys Ballsbridge, which is simply TOO MUCH fun to say. LOL! It's wonderful, and I've put an exterior view below (Photo 1), as well as a view of the facade from the window in our room (Photo 2)

We had several hours for sightseeing today, so we grabbed a cab and went to a great shopping area (Photos 3 - 5). I got a purple hat :-) and some postcards to send off. We then found a great little park to hang out at for a while (Photo 6).

Back to the hotel restaurant for a nice welcome dinner with the group, then up to our room to chill. Terry Hale came to the room and hung out for a little bit, which was the perfect end to a perfect day!

More later!

You've landed, hurray! The pictures are wonderful and the 8 or so hours of sleep on the plane is probably the most that you've gotten at one time in the past 2 years. We're all looking forward to more news and photos - take care!
