Ireland: Getting there
January 1st, 2009 | Greetings from Dublin!
I’m geeking out in our hostel right now, charging all of my electronics (iPhone, laptop, video camera), and recharging a bit after a long day and night of travel.
Nothing substantial to say in this blog post, I mean, we just got here. I did, however, quickly put together a video of clips from the journey here for your viewing pleasure. Check it out below.
G’head and leave a comment to say hello and be sure to follow my Twitter stream… I’ll be updating that quite frequently during the next week.
Oh, and I’d like to make a request to readers who know me personally: Please do not call me or text me at all until I return home next Thursday; not because I don’t want to hear from you, but because I don’t want to be paying exorbitant international phone fees. If you want to contact me, please do so by leaving comments on blog posts, messaging me on Twitter, emailing me, and so on. Thanks!

Jake,
Be sure to stop by trinity university and have a look at the Book of Kells on display there. It is amazing to see up close the artwork that is included with this monastic transcript of the gospels. Have fun there. Ireland is a beautiful place, I was there 9 years ago. Try the fish and chips as well and stop by the Guinness factory if you can…cheers,
that hostel looks so much better than when erin & i were there some five years ago. give the pub music crawl a shot, that's a bunch of fun. find a bar you like and get to know the bartender & regulars.
book of kells is, well the book of kells. i'd take a day trip up to giants causeway too. that place is unreal.

I've heard good things about the pub music crawl… maybe we can do that one of these nights. I'll look into the giants causeway. Thanks, man.
