Made it to Dublin

I arrived in my new city early Sunday morning and had no trouble clearing customs in under 2 minutes.  The customs officer told me I had too much information for him! :)  Overly prepared as always!
We caught a cab to the hotel with my three suitcases and backpack with a hilarious cab driver.  He told us where to get the best local fish and chips among other gems of information.  He was just as friendly as I have heard the Irish to be!
The city is fun and easy to navigate on foot, and my legs are exhausted!  I found great shopping and most important I found the biggest bookstore in Dublin where I picked up some of my books for school today!! So exciting!
More to come including pictures of my first days in the city.
Tomorrow I move into my residence room on campus - sure to be an adventure.  Although I did buy bubble colored lights on a string (like Xmas lights) to decorate the room.

  1. It is great to read your blog! Keep up the regular posts.

    Glad to hear you made it to Dublin safe and sound. I hope you walked your partner from the U.S. ragged too. She's a pretty good walker herself.
