Travel Tip#1. My dear friend who suggested that we bring a power strip was Right On! I simply plugged in my adaptor, then the strip, and can now charge everything at once! And, so far, I have not blown up anything!!! Travel Tip #2: Take Benedryl with you if you travel in May when everything is in full bloom! Beautiful, as you get glimpses between sneezes! Travel Tip #3 If you happen to have a son, flying to India, be sure and get all his flight numbers and destinations before you travel. Who knows, there might be a plane crash in India that scares you to death, because you don't know whether or not it could be your son! Thank God, it was not! Travel Tip #4 Do not lay down for a 20 minute power nap after breakfast...you will be sleepy the rest of the day! Travel Tip #5. Be sure and get a hair cut and color (not that I color my hair!) BEFORE you make a trip. Otherwise, your hair will drive you crazy the entire trip...especially if you get that lovely lady like sheen! Travel Tip #6 Don't believe everything I write about Ireland, because the Irish seem to love stretching the truth a bit, so I am not sure that everything they tell ME is true! but it makes for good reading and a hearty laugh! Travel Tip #7 When an Irish pharmacist gives you allergy medicine, beware! It could keep you up all night--plus that cup of coffee you had after dinner!

Day 1 May 20
Travel Day!
Flying out of Houston at 3:45pm. Arriving in Newark at 8:25pm. If all goes smoothly, flying out of Newark at 9:55pm and arriving in Dublin at 9:25am, May 21...Here we come--Emerald Isle!
Uh Oh...3 doors down from our hotel, the Garda were gathering. Shades of Greece ran through my head! Much to Phil's embarrassment, I stopped to ask one what was going on! He replied, "Protest". Since I saw no one protesting, I asked him if they were the ones protesting. He assured me they were not! On down the line, I asked another cute, young Garda if we were safe, to which he replied, "fairly". I am sure he was joking, I hope, I think?
