We're actually gone...

We've arrived in Dublin so our trip has officially begun! We had two flights to get here, one from Seattle to JFK, and the next straight to Dublin. The first was 5 hrs, the second 7 (surprisingly even). There wasn't much turbulance, yet I (Amy) did feel slightly sick at the end. On the second flight Laura and I originally sat by a cute old Irish man who was on his way home, and he was sweet too because he switched seats with Rachael so that she could sit with us as well. We arrived at 8am, and got to our hostel at 10, after wandering around town for quite a bit of time...we had no map, see (quite difficult with a bus, having no idea when the exit would be!). We planned to nap from 12-1, but that didn't really work out, seeing as we woke up at 7pm! That night we explored the town with a few roommates, Dublin is quite beautiful! And I love the accents. Today we're off to explore the city, so hopefully we can get back to you soon with our impressions!
