Here's a travel tip:

Stay away from Heathrow Airport, if you can. We're arrived safe and sound, after a 24 hour trek. Of what we've seen so far, it's quite lovely. Beautiful greenery (as one would expect) and Georgian architecture. Last night after arriving, we planted out bottoms in a pub for pint then travelled up a ways to some place for fish and chips (so typical, I know). I'm adjusting to the food prices - I'm a little stunned.

We were a mess this morning, but finally got it together and head out for a b-fast at this franchise called The Bagel Company. As we were sitting and eating, we watched as the employees (4 for a tiny little place) cleaned the counters, food displays, microwaves, everything. Busy little bees cleaning even the mayonnaise squeeze bottle. I'm all about hygiene and cleanliness, so I'm all about The Bagel Company now.

Right now, we're sitting in an internet cafe on Grafton Street. It's full of shops and throngs of people. Think Spark Streets on steroids. I'd take a flick, but I still haven't purchased a memory card for my camera. I can't resign myself to paying the 40-60€ price tag. That'll teach me for not being prepared.

Today is shopping mode (for those interested, great style here). Tomorrow, we're going to Kilmainham Jail.
