Top of the Morning To Ya!

We are safe and sound at our hotel in Dublin, after a long day of traveling. We landed around 9am, and then picked up the rental car, after a little negotiation. They tried to put us into something a bit bigger than the Fit, which would have meant that us "kids" were sitting three across the back. After all of the fun driving to Door County, I am sure that I never want to have to sit three across the back for more than twenty minutes ever again. Thankfully, they found us a mini-van type car that fit all of our luggage, and allows everyone a little breathing room.

We got to our hotel but couldn't check in. Did our best to clean up in the hotel bathroom, and then we went out for some breakfast. Had a good meal, and wandered around, and then stopped into a pub. Tim became besties with an 82 year old American guy who has lived in Ireland since 1955. They talked about his favorite subject - World War II! We got our bearings, but otherwise, were pretty lost on the day. Those of us back in coach hadn't really slept during our flights, so we were kind of loopy, and incredibly happy when we could take a nap. We went to a pub for dinner and I had a delicious Guinness pie, and now we're back and ready to go to bed. So ready to go to bed. But here are a couple of quick pictures from the day.

Our suitcase when we pulled it out from under the bed. Oh, Lulu. When we picked the bag up in Dublin, we noticed that it's ripping. It might be a full time cat toy from here on out. The canvas has seen better days.

Rainbow in the parking lot, waiting for the car.

Our first meal in Ireland. We are fresh as skunk flowers.
