Sweet Emerald Isle that I love so well

Location: Dublin, Republic of Ireland
The flight to Dublin was lovely. I flew on this airline called RyanAir (the ticket cost me $35 round trip from Liverpool to Dublin). If you had taken a plane out of the 1970's and replaced the one I rode on today (crew and all), I may have not noticed. The plane was neon yellow inside with bright blue plastic seats. There were no tray tables, no reclining seats, no seat back pockets... they were just chairs bolted into a plane. The flight attendants had on these lime green jumper things. There were also advertisements all over everything. Vodka ads on the overhead bins, hertz ads on the backs of every seat. It was a really interesting experience.
The flight itself was great. Ireland is literally, the most beautiful place I have ever seen. The countryside is this color of green that I would have claimed was fake if I had not seen it myself. The hills rolled forever, it seemed and every once and a while, we'd fly over a farm with a HUGE cottage house and dairy cows or sheep dotting the pasture. Amazing. Once I got into town, it was almost dark. The traffic was out of control (trying to navigate downtown Dublin in 5 o'clock traffic was not fun). I'm going to just call it a night for now. Take a much needed shower (I've never wanted one so bad) and get up early to go look at the stuff around here. We're literally within 100 yards of the Dublin Castle, some huge church and the Guinness museum and brew house. Yum :)
XOXO

umm... I don't see you in any of these pictures. How do I know you're actually there and not just copying some random guy's pictures off the internet?
Dearest Emmy-lee, It's kind of difficult to take pictures of myself when I am by myself. I'll see what I can do tomorrow though.
So you found out why they call it the Emerald Isle? It's amazing how green everything is in the UK.
Have a great trip.
Love to you and the family.
Oh smooshie.. please tell me you took pictures of the weird plane. I'm sad that I'm not there to pretend to shower with you... since this time you'd actually take one. :)
I love you... Gossip girl... you crack me up. I literally laughed out loud.
Thanks for that. Talk to you soon lover!! miss you!!

Reading about just the few couple of days of your trip is making me very jealous Little A. Have fun hitting on the guards who wink at you- are the beers at the brew house $1 like Abel's? I doubt it. Missing you already, keep up the posting so I'll have something to read on my snazzy iPhone that E is so jeal of. XOXO
Yippeeeee!!
We leave today! Can't wait to see you!! Your blogs are awesome and are making your dad feel much better about all of this... :)
XOXOXOXO
