Ireland, Scotland, and England, oh my!

A very long day 1: May 30-31, 2024

The trip has officially begun! We started our trip Thursday evening by arriving way too early to the airport. Naturally we had a beer while waiting to check our bags. After a looooooong flight, getting one hour of sleep, and not having nearly enough leg room, we are finally here! Not a lot to talk about so far for today, jet lag is hitting HARD. Picked up Marissa from the hotel, checked into the new hotel for the weekend, and had a couple of minor adventures.

First up was fish and chips obviously. Then we went for a pint at a local pub that didn’t have a ladies room. Ask me how I found that out! Just kidding don’t ask me I have IBS and that’s all I’m going to say about that. Also fun fact, they were staining the doors on the ladies room stalls next door, so stop in at the black lion in Dublin and you’ll likely see my finger prints permanently marked in the fresh staining! Now we are back at the hotel for the night trying our hardest to stay awake until 9pm so we can get a semi normal nights sleep tonight and beat this jet lag quick. Anyway, enjoy todays photos and look forward to tomorrows adventures!

Beers at the airport to kick off the trip!
Beef stew dinner courtesy of the airline. The chocolate mousse was honestly SO GOOD!
So Good! I’m not sure why they bothered with the arugula. Hoping they meant it as garnish because it did not get touched.
A pint of Guinness and an Irish Red. Would have been a 10 out of 10 was it not for the odd bathroom situation.
