I took the bus to New York City bus terminal and then another to JFK. Traffic was awful, several people on the bus missed their flights. I barely made it in time to sit on the plane for two hours before finally taking off. My first view of Ireland was of the misty and jagged hills that crash suddenly into the ocean outside Dublin. I couldn't have asked for a better first glimpse.
Now I am in Dublin without enough time to run into the city and grab a pint. It just isn't the same at the airport. Of course it is 5 am my time so maybe that is for the best.
The British Airways queue leads to a temporarily different airline (TAP) I found out after waiting in line for half an hour. Even better, it doesn't switch over to the BA desk for another hour. Oh well, it gives me time to blog for 30 minutes at $7.
Add-on:
Ran out of internet time so I went and had an "Irish breakfast" of sausage, ham, egg, and black and white pudding(it was good, not sure I want to know what it was) and then rounded it out with a pint to balance out all the animal fat. Surprised? Probably not.
I paid another $7 for internet access while I wait. It is only money, right?
