Departure

From Ireland

And we have liftoff. Eight hours and two trays of airline food later I landed in Dublin, Ireland. The trip here couldn't have gone better. Both flights I had two seats to myself, so I had plenty of room to stretch out. All the food and drink was free, so I didn't starve. And, when the sun began to rise the view from my window seat was phenomenal. If you've ever seen the ocean from the coast line, seeing from overhead is an entirely different beast. The water looks like a darker blue version of the sky, and for second you might wonder if up and down even exist or matter anymore.

From Ireland

Quite honestly my worst fear at the moment is never being able to take a trip like this again. I'm hearing a lot of good things about the months to come, and I can't wait to see what unfolds. I'll keep you updated.
