Flag of Ireland  , County Dublin,
Thursday, July 10, 2008

Just a quick note to say that I've arrived in Dublin safely. At the moment, I'm trying to kill time. The plane landed at 8.30a and I can't check in until 2.00p, but as soon as I can, I'm totally napping. I'm wiped right now.

A couple quick observations. Wow, the moment you enter a huge, busy new environment, your filters have to kick in like crazy so you don't explode. Also, no one waits for the light to change when they cross the street. If they can sneak in, they do so.

Amanda, security as per normal at Edmonton, nothing at Toronto, customs at Dublin.

For the moment, I have no idea whatsoever what I'll be doing today after my nap. I need to figure out what I want to see and how to get there and it's too much for my tired brain to handle. I'm pondering checking out Trinity College sometime, though. Hopefully pictures will follow. Plus, I need a hoodie cuz I'm cold and only brought t-shirts. Finding a good place to get one, however, is proving difficult. Again, after naptime.

2 more hours until check-in time!
