Dublin Trip
by socata on Oct 25, 2007 11:27 AM

It was my first trip to Europe (I was in US for a year though!).My relatives were at the airport,showed me around and left me at my hotel. I went in to the resturant to have food (some noodles stuff) and ordered water. They brought me a 200ml mineral water bottle costing approx 5 Euros. The bottle said it was from a natural spring some where in Africa.(Even the Evian is about an Euro for 1 lt bottle). the other thing I noticed was a confusing jet lag unlike a clear one when you travel to US. The other freaky thing was the lock in my soft luggage broke. I walked in the streets of Dublin going to 3 Tescos still did not find one. I was exhausted as I was wandering for almost 4 hours. I got lost and reached the hotel by a Cab. Finally I used the ring in the Key chain to secure the 2 zippers of the soft luggage. My flight was involantarily rerouted (Gulfair was terminating Dublin service. I had chosen Gulf air to avoid the transit VISA hassle at European Hubs) and just had 3 hours of sleep before I could get ready and show up in the airport.I made home hopping on to 3 aircrafts.
