When I first go off the plane, I was goin nuts. I was really close to speaking with the official who needed to check out my passport, but then I realized I didn't fill out a landing card on the plane so I walked to the very end of the line trying to find someone who could help. One of the stewardesses advised me to fill one of the cards out that was located in the back of the room but they had all run out. So i had to go to the very back of the line, which kinda stunk, but it actually wasn't too bad. So when you are in the passport services line, there is a little red line that you aren't supposed to pass, until the person in front of has his or her passport stamped and ready to proceed. Well me, being a tad over zealous and a little excited stepped over the line a bit, and this stuck up European lady, held up her hand, yes held up her hand like us kids used to when we were young and would say "talk to the hand" (who does that anymore?) and said "excuse me miss!" At first, I was super shy and apologized and stepped back of course, but then once she walked through I realized how rude it was. That official then checked and processed my passport and sent me through. I hurriedly caught up the this woman got her attention and glared at her, not to be some stuck up American kid, but I just felt it very rude what she had done earlier and I just wanted to let her know, you should've seen her face, she didn't know what to do or say. I know what your saying Mom and Dad, I should've just dropped the atttidue and steppped away, but my fresh and ready "i'm in Ireland" spirit took over me! haha, Anyway, beyond that, once i got $200 exhanged for 200 Euro, I got my luggage, which went smoothly and Erin, I did it. Stood there for a sec, with all my stuff and giggled at myself while taking even that moment all in.
I was freaking out when I was in line for a taxi, I got this really crazy, extremely nice though kinda rough on the edges Irish woman who was awesome. She was tellin me that Irish people are amazingly welcoming and that I need to soak up every moment I have in this beautiful place. She told me to live every day like it was my last, little intense, but dead on, right?! Needless to say she got me to my hotel, gave me a hug and advised me to go get a Guinness:)
My hotel is really nice, but not gonna lie, it's definitely kinda weird having to be here alone. I wish Katie, Nett and Tara were here and us girls could order room service, or go down to the pool:) I went for a walk and got myself a sandwich and on the way back it started to rain on me, it was hilarious. I was laughing while trying not to slip in my wet sandals!
I miss you all so much and wish you could be here with me. On my walk I took some pictures that i'll post soon.
So far so good guys!
Love you!
