NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Okay, so I didn't sleep a wink last night on the place. They kept coming by with coffee, and it was just too yummy to say no. I wasn't thinking! I tried to sleep, but couldn't. Then the sun came up right when we were going over Ireland and I didn't want to miss seeing as much as I could from the air. Which by the way, I am glad I did have my forehead pressed up against the window. The view was beautiful! I would absolutely love to move here. The fields are so green! When the wind would blow it would look like a sea of just pure green. Gorgeous! Not to mention the lovely cloudy weather! Yeah, people think I am weird when I say that but I love overcast weather. Grey is my favorite color. Stephen, pack your bag 'cause we are becoming Irish!
However, I made a grave mistake when I stepped off the plane. I didn't go down the hallway marked airport exit. Nope, I walked down the path that said connecting flights. Because brilliant me was part zombie and was all 'hey, I have a connecting flight!' For those of you who didn't know my original plan. I was planning on taking the bus into Dublin and spending my 8 hour layover being a tourist and taking pictures and eating food and maybe getting a pint. 'Cause you can't come to Ireland and not have a beer. I feel like that is in the fine print when you buy a ticket here.
Now I am stuck in the airport. It's not so bad though. I find people are very nice here and quite lovely to chat with. I made my first purchase with euro currency (and it was for my first meal!) I got a meal deal offered at Boots. Sandwich (Three halves of different kinds, yogurt with granola and strawberries, and a Ribena drink. All quite delicious and only for €4! Not too shabby!
My flight to Madrid isn't until 16:20. So, I am left wandering the airport. I feel a bit like Tom Hanks from that one movie. I can't wait to actually step out of the airport though!
Well, darn... looks like you'll just have to return to Ireland some day, teehee.
