Jet Lag

Well, we made it into Dublin and our bags arrived safe and sound.  We made it to our hotel around 10:00 in the morning and our room wasn’t quite ready yet.  So we stored our bags at the desk, and headed to find the city center.  We hopped on Bus 41C a double decker which seems to be the standard mode of transportation for a majority of the Dublin residents.  We were pretty tired and didn’t know exactly what the city center looked like.  So we ended up riding the bus all the way through the city and out the other side.  We got some way out and the driver said last stop.  We stayed on and took the rout back into town.  It all worked out just fine since we were just trying to kill time any way.  We hopped off at the city center and walked around for a little while and then hopped on the 16A bus and headed back towards the hotel.  We weren’t exactly sure where our stop was, and after asking the driver he wasn’t sure where our stop was either.  We ended up getting off the bus about 3 blocks early.  We eventually made it back to our hotel, got checked in, and promptly went to bed.  We slept for a few hours.  Erin dragged me out of bed to go get some dinner.  We had a very nice dinner in our hotel, at a resturant that served asian food.  After dinner back to bed we went around 7:30 PM.  We got up this morning around 8:30.  So we must have really needed the sleep.

This morning we grabbed some food at the continental breakfast and then went for a walk through the park near our hotel.  These photos are on Erins blog as well.

After our walk we packed up our bags and hopped a bus into the city center.  We needed to get to our new hotel, once we got to the middle of town we came across the bus center and asked which bus we needed to take.  We were given a bus number and pointed in a direction to find it.  Well the point was not exactly the right direction.  So we ended up walking around for a while before we were able to track it down.  It was about a 30 min bus ride out to our new hotel.  We got checked in right away, and decided to go out for a walk to the mall near by.  I had to pick up a plug adapter so I could plug in the laptop and Erin needed something to carry her wallet in.  I found an adpter, but Erin didn’t have much luck on the carrying device.  We remembered we needed to call and confirm our trip for tomorrow.  We are doing a train and plane trip to the west side of the country.  We’ll fill you in on that tomorrow.  So back to the hotel we went.  I dropped off the plug and started the laptop charging and called the tour agency so we are good to go for the morning.  We rushed back to the mall to catch the 3:15 showing of spiderman 3.  After the movie we came back to the hotel and have kind of been relaxing.  We need to check in at the train station at 6:45 A.M. tomorrow, so we have an early morning on coming soon.  Its been fun so far.  I am looking forward to seeing a lot of the country side tomorrow.  More pictures and stories to come.
