We are here!
We got here around 7am Dublin time. No sleep last night on the plane. We took the bus to the bus station, bought "Open Road" passes, and walked to our Hostel ("Abigail's). It is pretty nice. They serve free breakfast, and the rooms have their own bathrooms. Or, at least we hear (about the latter). We can't actually check in until 2:00. John and I ate our free breakfast (toast, juice, cereal, coffee), and are waiting for a free tour that a couple of people here told us about.

Hey Beth! I am so jealous. What is an "open road" pass?
Stacy
Hi, Stacy! The open road pass is where you buy a bus pass for a certain number of travel days for however many days you are in Ireland. Like, we're here for 14 days, and we get unlimited travel on 7 of those days. We can use the bus within cities like Dublin, but we can also use them to travel from city to city. They have a great bus service here. Bus Eirann (I think that's how you spell it)--they have a web site that explains it all.
Very cool. I am reading every details of this trip! We are planning to visit in a few years. Mike has this work benefit that pays for an out of the country trip after so many years of employment. Ireland is my first choice for this one!
