We Have Arrived!



Greetings from the Emerald Isle!!
Okay, so plans changed a bit. Our flight was canceled and we ended up flying to Atlanta and then to Dublin. All and all everything turned out to be just fine. Lynda and I took a rest in Chilli's Too and had margaritas to relieve all of our stress. We arrived this morning in Dublin at 9:45. We were forced to take a power nap before we could launch full force into our adventure. First off we headed straight to the bar. Temple Bar that is. Temple Bar is one of the most famous bars here in Dublin. It's a bit cool outside so we reluctantly sipped on some authentic Irish coffees to warm our insides. Afterwards with our buzz going strong we headed down the road and visited Dublin Castle. There was not much left as there was a fire that destroyed most of it. There were some good stories that came out of that place. We did get to view one of the remaining towers, Powder Tower, where many skulls from beheaded prisoners were found. We've just got back from our day out and we are going to get ready for a nice evening. We are going to have dinner with our new friend Oliver. Oliver is taking us to a restaurant called "Fire". The dress is "smart casual". Lynda and I are going to stop by the reception desk to ask exactly what is smart casual..... Until next time.. We love you all!
