Ireland in Excess

D1- We flew into Dublin and had 1.5 hours to hang out there. We got a really good breakfast (pancakes with banana and nutella) and walked around and did some shopping. That night they had a dinner and reception for us so we could get to know the people we were traveling with. Everyone on the tour was really cool. We sat next to 4 old dudes for dinner and one of them thought I was cool and wants to break up his sons marriage so I can be his daughter in law. It was funny. He kept calling me his daughter in law the entire trip.

D2- We spent a lot of time on the bus touring, Waterford was closed due to recent layoffs so our tour guide had us go to a bar and has his friend play classic irish music for us. It was soo awesome. We also went to Cashel to see castle. At night we went out to downtown Kilkenny for dinner and out for drinks. My mom was going to leave me alone a cab ride away form the hotel because she told my aunt that I didn't want to hang out with her (my aunt) but my aunt stayed and we went to like 10 different pubs with another couple on the tour and then went to the hotel and drank with everyone from our tour until 4am.

D3- We went to Killarney stopping at a few scenic places on the way. Our tour guide had us stop at his friends shop and they had Irish coffee waiting for us. We also went and got a Jameson tour and I became and official Irish Whiskey Taster. At night there was a dinner at the hotel and then we went out to a few pubs and then came to the hotel pub and I ended up becoming best friends with workers from the bar and ended up making out with a boy that worked at the hotel who is originally from Poland. His friend Gerry liked me but Gerry wasn't cute so I went for the cute one.

D4- Went site seeing over every where- cliffs, blarney and what not. At night we went to dinner that our tour guide put together for us with live Irish dancing and Irish music. I was supposed to go on a date with the Polish guy but we got back to the hotel too late and he didn't wait for me. Oh well. I ended up hanging out with Gerry the entire night and this guy from the tour that was short and liked me. It was fun. We also became friends with the liquour license guy and he bought our rounds of baby Guiness shots, Whiskey and beer. I love the Irish!

D5- Drove through Shannon and stopped at a bar on the way to the airport then flew home. Spent 3 hours in traffic to get from the airport to my apartment. Awesome.

Oddly one of the couples on tour graduated in 1999 from Bentley and her dad and step- mom work at Intel. Another couple looked familiar and it turns out they lived in the town over from me and used to come into Big Y all the time and I used to get them their rainchecks. Another guy works in hudson and goes to the same place I go for happy hour when we have them after work.

I want to move there. The guys love red heads. I have never been hit on so much in my life. And it wasn't the creepy hit on either. They don't have many girls with red hair their and so they love it when they can find them. I seriously should move their to get a husband and move back. What Irish guy doesn't want a green card? And when America tanks we can move back to Ireland!
