Hello! This is our last message from Ireland for this portion of the trip atleast. We are sitting in the Dublin airport, rather early for our flight. It is only 1:30 pm and our flight doesnt leave till eight. The man at the checkin said we have to stay out here till 2 hrs before the flight. That wasnt the case in JFK! We checked in about 5 hrs early! Anyways, we are fine here at our own table in the airport cafe. Billy is on the hunt for an electrical outlet because our laptop is about to die. Hopefully he finds one with chairs next to it! Our stay in Dublin was pretty dull. No adventures. We basically just stayed in our hotel room and watched TV and plan ol' relaxed from our whirlwind week we just did! We knew there was much more walking to be done the next 3 weeks so we were resting our legs. Especially since Billy's discovery the first night in Dublin! He found a tick on the inside, upper thigh. OUCH. We burned the head, trying not to set the smoke alarm off...he's doing surgery while I am wafting like a maniac with a towel at the alarm. Yes, a sight for sore eyes. He managed to get most of it, meanwhile making a mini hole in his leg. Truly disgusting! Reason number 345 not to camp in Ireland I guess. We did learn from our mistakes but had a blast while doing it! We are trying to work on our budget seeing that the rental car agency and gas put us about 500 euros in the hole. Not what we planned for!! We'll see what the future brings us. Maybe we should play the France lottery or something. Oooo...or place a bet on the World Cup game. Eh, either way we are managing and will talk to you in France! Keep checking for pictures of the eiffel tower, lourve, crazy people in the streets, etc. Miss everyone soooo much! Love you! Love, The World Travelers
