Heading to Dublin, Ireland

This weekend, I traveled to Dublin with some EUSA friends. It was beautiful and just an enjoyable evening.

On Friday, June 26, 2009, we had our Professional Development Seminar and I also paid my last housing payment. During the seminar, we had a fire drill too! After the seminar, we took the tube to King's Cross and from there took a train to Luton Airport. The flight was very smooth and we got to Dublin around 5:00 pm. We then checked into our hostel - Browns Hostel. It was quite a nice place - however, we did notice many older people there too. We then walked around Dublin and into the Temple Bar area. We then went to a great restaurant. I had a steak and then we all shared two desserts - it was delicious. We then went back to our hostel, and went back out to the night life. We got back to our hostel and we were lucky that we were the only people staying in our room.

On Saturday, June 27, 2009, we ate breakfast next door at the Browns Hotel - just toast and coffee/tea - but very cheap. We then headed toward the Guinness Factory, ate chicken fingers at a local pub, went to Trinity College, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and saw the Dublin Castle. It was a fun day and we ran into some other students from EUSA and traveled around that evening with them.

On Sunday, June 28, 2009, we took a bus tour to the south of Dublin/Ireland and into the mountains. It was beautiful and saw many sights where various movies were filmed.

We then headed back to Luton for our plane - although it was delayed - I was able to get back to my flat by 2:00 am.

It was a great time!
