Well I have just arrived in Europe. I am sitting at a quaint café in the Dublin Airport. The sky is cloudy and it looks rather windy outdoors. But I am quite comfortable in the café, only wishing that there were wireless Internet available. I have about a four-hour layover, and I am not really sure what I am going to do. Unfortunately I am confined to the terminal- c’est la vie. My flight was overall, pretty comfortable. I sat next to this attractive man from South Africa who now lives in Delft (Holland). We chatted for a while, and I learned that he went to Rock Werchter this summer…so that was a fun thing to talk about. I watched two movies. The Boat that Rocks and Gran Torino- great movies. I also used some time wisely and finished a book that I have been trying to read for about 2 years now. That was a huge accomplishment in my eyes. I slept for about half of the flight but unfortunately I slept during the wrong half, so my guestimate would be that I have been awake since 4 or 5 this morning. Basically I am going to be very happy once it is time for bed.
My departure from the San Francisco Airport was kind of bizarre. It took me probably 20 minutes to check in and re-arrange some baggage (silly Irish workers unions and their rights). So after I checked in, I assumed that my parents and I would go sit and grab a bite to eat- BUT NO. The security line was obscenely long-probably a quarter mile long. So we waited in line and said our very quick good byes. I always hate that part. It’s never easy for me. But I held it together and got on my way.
I am really looking forward to seeing Paul and Nicole today. It will be good to catch up with them. I am really looking forward to the yummy meal that Nicole might have possibly cooked too =) But my top priority is buying my train ticket to Belgium and getting a good night’s rest. Well I think this is it for now. Until next time…
