DUBLIN 2011

I went to Dublin 3/25 - 3/26 with a few of the boys I went to Tenerife with. Had a blast. Love being irish.  We did the touristy things like St. Pats, Guinness Factory, Dublin Castle, etc etc.

First Night Out!

Amazing view of Dublin

I booked a flight back on Sunday night at 7:00 pm. I was having so much fun...that I decided to flip a coin to see if I should stay the night. As fate would have it, it landed on heads, and I was staying another night.

I was supposed to go to work on Monday ... but as fate would have it... it was the weekend of the time change in Europe! So, I had my excuse.

I woke up at 6 am to book it to the airport. My only restrictions were get me back by 2:40 in time for lacrosse practice.

Conversation with Ryanair / AirFrance / BMI / EasyJet information desks went something like this:
Me: I need the first flight back to anywhere in England.
Airline: 290 GBP
Me: Throw up

So on a whim I went back outside to catch a cab and told them to take me to the nearest port. As fate would have it now...there was ferry leaving back to Holyhead Wales and a DIRECT TRAIN TO SHREWSBURY leaving in 20 minutes. I bought my ferry + rail ticket combination for 32 GBP (STEAL) sat upstairs and enjoyed a croissant, and took the most beautiful ferry ride along the Welsh coast and made it back at 2:35 pm just in time for practice :)

MY FERRY!

WELSH COAST
Definitly going to do this train ride again before I go home for good

Chalk that weekend up to an amazing time.
