Costs 2019 Trip to Europe2.jpeg



Yo hacía todo a la buena de Dios pero a pesar de esto, para gran sorpresa mía ¡todo salió muy pero que muy bien!

¡Echa un vistazo a este hotel! Did I luck out or what?
THE SHORELINE HOTEL IS ONLY 15 MINUTES BY VAN TO THE AIRPORT. NICE!
Now, there's no town and no shop nearby. Just a really nice neighborhood and beach and cliffside paths.
Nice.

I remember in 2012 that The Airport at Dublin was really nice but it seemed different this time.
Dublin AP has iffy internet and crabby people at the help desks. They have public phones but you can't read
the numbers because they're old and the numbers are worn off. Así es la vida...

HERE' AN ESSAY I WROTE ON THIS TRIP TO THE HOTEL IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH

Ubiquitous are starlings
They're spotted near and far
You'll find you've got these darlings
No matter where you are

This was too much for me to eat. I ordered ala carte the next morning. Funny; there's a certain imprecision to food service and waitering in Ireland. I noticed it in 2012. I could pay for their counter food, or buy fried eggs and eat the counter food for free.

HERE'S THEIR AD ONLINE APRIL 2022. LOOKS THE SAME!

Also the driver drove me over to the Estuary to look at birds.

The hotel van driver dropped me off at the estuary on his way to pick up people from the airport. I watched birds. I had to walk back. It was about a half hour walk through the nice neighborhoods.
BUDWEISER BEER TALL CANS were occasionally seen on the path. I saw several. Drinkers out in these nice neighborhoods? Well, some guy was walking around in the hotel and the desk clerk had to throw him out the last morning. Weird. Anyhow, they sell Bud tall cans in Windsor, England.
