Erin's Green Shamrock Shore

Erin's Green Shamrock Shore

We had our first glimpse of the Irish shoreline about 9:15am from our airplane window (with any luck we'll be able to post photo tomorrow). This first look at Ireland was preceded by a technicolor sunrise in shades of orange, pink, and maroon. Spectacularly beautiful (ditto on this photo).

We are also spectacularly tired. It was a long and cramped flight even with the extra leg room and extremely fortunate bulkhead seats. A plus for leg room but a minus for not being able to recline our seats.

We have had a problematic start due technical issues. Mike's phone and the iPad headed south as we headed east. We have unraveled some of the problems but a trip to the Apple Store on Grafton St is in the plan for tomorrow.

Kate got her sim card for her phone but the shop ran out of minute credits(?????) so it's off to Vodaphone tomorrow to get some minutes. Between these two trips we might actually get to see some sites.

As we are sitting here in the hotel lobby typing this blog posting because wifi is out in all the rooms here (of course it would be out, is it technical?) there are several hundred boisterous Trinity College students in the street outside waiting to get into a club for cheap drinks. Our room is in the back of the hotel - hurrah for that!
