Alright so here I am at the end of day one...well it midaswell be day 1.5. I started out to the airport at 5:00pm tuesday with my mom, my sister (who surprised me by bussing in to town) my brother Cody, Justin, Chantelle and Toddar.I guess it went as smoothly as was to be expected. but the goodbyes tore me apart! I didnt cry as much as I thought I would, that was untill my back was turned.OH I BALLED MY EYES OUT (The worst is that Im not done yet.) But I will say that I wasn't as loud as the baby beside me I don't think that she was impressed about the flight any more than I was.The flight other than that was rather univentfull, Chicken for dinner then I watched the Presige, then I slept on and off on the way there. Had breakfast before we landed and when we finally touched down the first thing I noticed was that the skys. It was soooo bright out but the sky was crayon grey. I had never seen that before. I got off the plain and was amazed at the size of that airport. I had to take a large bus (like the edmonton transit busses,) for 10 minuts just to get to my terminal. Follow the signs and there I was at check in #2. (Aaron would be sooo proud of me) then I had a 6.5 hours to wait. I called Toddar. Collect to my anger because I didnt have any UK money on me and it didnt take the euro. Talking to him made me happy... kinda...then really sad. //insert cry time here// Then I was off exploring the airport. It took me an hour and I concluded that no wornder Europe is such a place to shop... their is soo much oportunity!They had a huge mall with in the airport. It was insane .. and no i didn't buy anything.Then I napped for 4 hours before catching the 50 minut flight to Dublin.It was literaly up ... then down.I got off the plain, it took me 5 minuts to get my bag and I seriously just walked out the dooors of the airport. But the turned around and went back in because it was to much all at once I went to buy food. I only ate half my sandwitch and then lost the other half!! I went to go call a cab but the lady told me it would be better to bus it. Big mistake! It droped me off and then pointed to a street. Well here I was at Temple Bar. 5 times the size of white ave and a billion times buseyer.I guess it was a rugby game because thats all I heard about.I walked up and down each "ave" and street because they dont have street sighs like they do in canada.Plus I midas well be in Japan because I dont understand ANYTHING! I mean I couldn't get to Argile Trail but I know where aprox it is and I have at least herd of it. I mean here, what or who the hell is a Abbey courtquay. Seriously?! So i did what only girls can do and i asked a cop for direction. and sure enough i found it right away. I sighned in and found it not to be at all what I had been expecting. Some good , some bad. The room has 10 beds (+) It should only have 4 (-) They have a great common area and the internet isnt busey (+) but they dont have msn (-) I met 2 boys and 4 girls , and their really nice (+) but their leaving on friday (-) It has a bathroom with a locked door (+) but when I went in there to have my first shower I got my new shoes all wet because the floor was covered in water.(-) but im optemistic. I have all my stuff locked up underneath me. I have allot of stuff I dont know how Im going to manage, but on the pluse side it all fits in my bin that i can lock up. So now im sitting up in bed hopeing that I dont tick anyone off because I have my light on. Trying not to think about home as I write this to tell all of you.(who i miss so much!) I promised myself that i would write about my day EVERY night. and I will.Tomorrow im going to get a phone... i dont like being cut off of texting.Im goign to find msn and Im also going to find the irealand SWAP. I want to look for a house because I can tell already that this hostel thing is just not for me. I was invited by 2 girls to go see the Guiniss factiory tomorrow with them. and I just might do that.; But for now Im going to try and sleep. The European guy who speake english with an accent just got down to his skivvies and climbed up the ladder to the bed above mine... I think thats enough excitment for me for one day!
