A perfectly pulled pint of the world's best stout...Guinness in hand and a nap under my belt and now Diana and I are surrounded by all things Irish. U2 on the music overhead proclaiming that everybody wants to rule the world. Sitting at the bar on big stools with the Guinness 'stache on - I feel as though it will be me!
We had a 2 hour delay leaving Chicago but made up 1 of the hours in the air. The problem was that one of the hydraulic systems had frozen in the -8 C temps. So after they found it, then they had to unthaw it and make sure there were no other issues. Yes it was cold there and we were very glad to leave and get slightly - no make that a lot - warmer at 10 C and some drizzly rain.
We were able to drop bags off at O'Neills and then go out and explore. My goodness I was so tired - Diana had to wait for me a few times. Even with all the sitting on the plane though, we have still managed to get over 7000 steps on the fitbit. We had a good walk down the shopping area of Grafton Street, and then it was back to our accommodations to get settled in. It didn't take me long to find the bed!
So now we will get our plans ready for tomorrow and try and do some touristy sightseeing. Maybe a hop on and hop off bus will be in our future. For now it is good to be settled and enjoying a pint!
Tomorrow will be a better and brighter day

I hope you didn't insult the bartender and ask for ginger ale!
Ah you've started off well! I am sure you will gather steam with a few more days in the 'zone' but 8 zones is too many to leap easily!
Have a drop for me but try a Bushmills sometime! It tastes like it just dropped from heaven and collected by the leprechauns just for you!!
Lots of love to you both, you''re a darlin' pair!
