Never travel without a neck pillow...

So Katelyn and my travels started at 11:27am PST Tuesday morning and coming to an end at 8:50am Ireland time Wednesday morning. It was a long day filled with airports, sitting by strangers and luckily, a lot of sleep. Katelyn and I stayed up the entire night Monday night so we could sleep throughout both the plane rides on Tuesday. It worked, thank goodness. We both slept a majority of the trip, however the fact we traveled for so long was exhausting itself.

We flew into Shannon Ireland Wednesday morning and then drove to a smaller town called Ennis and walked around their for a while. Katelyn and I were definitely the most awake in the group because no one else could sleep on the plane. Leading to my first piece of travel advice. Always travel with a neck pillow! I bought one in Philidelphia and it was DEFINITELY a life saver. After hanging out in Ennis for a while, we drove about an hour (it seemed) to The Cliffs of Moher. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL, but we were really too tired to truely get anything out of their beauty. We could both start feeling our bodies start to catch up with the fact that it was only 4am PST.

Ireland is eight hours ahead of California, and so it's a rough transition, but it's not going to be that bad. We're done for the day and just finished dinner. We found some quaint little resturant and had baked pataoes because we're too tired to have anything else sound good.

I'm already craving Jamba Juice and Red Mango. This trip might be a rough one what it comes to food. I am also craving good pasta. I wonder if I'll ever endulge this craving...?

We're now in this town called Lahinch, Ireland and it's SMALL! It reminds me of a small midwest town. Surprising the people aren't that nice. They aren't mean mean, but the aren't saying "hi" and yeah... maybe we're just tired.

We have an early morning and we're heading to Galway Ireland. Hopefully it's a bigger town than the one we're currently in.

We're staying at a B&B that totally photoshopped their Internet picture. It's kind of funny how NOT the pictures this place is. It reminds me of Old Nease... yeah it's great! haha

Well Katelyn is sitting behind me wondering why I'm so addicted to this Internet, I'm sure. :o) So I am off for now.... until next time!

CHEERS!

  1. Photoshopping hotel pictures !!! Remember that place we stayed for Jennifer's wedding? It looked SO nice on the Internet and SO bad when we finally arrived.

    yay for neck pillows - I am definitely getting one before my Nica trip.
