Today is my first full day in Dublin. My journey started yesterday. I woke up early (4:45 a.m) to catch my 8:35 am flight. I flew to Newark, New Jersey for my connecting flight to Dublin. I enjoyed the flight to New Jersey because I had a window seat and was able to take pictures of a snowy Colorado and Utah from the air. I also took one of UCLA.
The flight to New Jersey was about 5 - 6 hours. I waited in the airport for 2 hours before my flight to Dublin. It took 6 hours to get to Dublin.
During my travel day, I've learned some important lessons.
Lesson #1, Once you land know the route to your destination if you are taking a taxi. If you don't know it (like me) you will spend 20 minutes circling the area and the ride will end up costing you more than you expected. I was hoping to spend about 30 euros for the ride, I ended up paying 50 euros since I did not know the exact location. Utilize Google Maps! I only found the location after remembering how the building looked like after searching for it on Google Maps. The internet is a helpful resource so use it.
Lesson#2, Try to get as much sleep as possible on the plane ride. It's currently 10 am in Dublin and I'm super tired. I tried to sleep on the plane but I wanted to watch the in flight entertainment. haha. But seriously, try and sleep on the plane if you could that way you won't be as tired when you land.
I'll post up pictures when I have the chance. My computer cables are in my luggage which is in the luggage room at my hostel. I got here too early and can't check in yet but I'm too tired to go out and explore the city.
