Today.

It's 2:42 a.m. right now, and Frank and her mom are picking me up at 10 a.m. to drive to Columbus, for our 4 o'clock flight. I just got off the phone with F, and she's staying up all night to try and force herself to fall asleep later tonight on our way to Dublin. The 6 hour jet lag shouldn't be too bad if we both can manage some sleep on the plane. F packed a copious amount of valium to get her through the flight. Me, i'll take a glass of wine and the latter half of Widow for one year. That should do the trick. It'll be her and my first time flying internationally, so we're both pretty excited.

Our hostel in Dublin has an internet connection, so hopefully i'll be able to post one of the nights when we're there. We really don't have anything planned yet, so I think i'll spend the rest of the wee hours of the morning figuring out a pseudo-itinerary. Does anyone who's been to Dublin have any recommendations? We definitely want to see Trinity College, the Guinness factory and the Temple Bar District (luckily our hostel is situated snugly between all three), but aside from those, we've got nothing planned. Really, I just want a good pint at a nice Irish pub, so I think one day we're going to take a bus to some smaller villages around Dublin.

The next post should be either tomorrow or Thursday, if all goes as planned. That is, if the luck of the Irish is on our side.

How fun! I've never been to Ireland, so I look forward to your firsthand reports :)
