We arrived in Dublin this morning to find that Marneys bag had been lost! (Carol, thank you for suggesting that we pack clothing in eachothers bags!) Luckily, by the time we got to the hostel, the airport had called to inform us that the bag had appeared. We ate a lunch of "take away" fish and chips on the lawn of Christ Church Cathedral.

At the risk of sounding exactly like my mom, I have to say that I forgot how cramped economy class actually is. My upgraded status with United has spoiled me terribly (though certain unkind persons have commented that I was spoiled before my status was upgraded) and I am used to having all that extra room for my insanely long legs.

As the title says, we aint gone yet!! Ok this is just a test.

We passed the sites of Dublin Castle, Temple Bar St. Patrick's Cathedral, Duke of Wellington monument, O'Connell Bridge and Street and past the Clarence Hotel, owned by the lead singer of U2's Bono. We were told quite a few famous people have stayed here: including Madonna a...
