Twilight In Dublin

Almost 8 hours flight from the United Arab Emirates to Dublin, Ireland. My nth time to visit the home of the famous Irish Spring, Baileys, Guinness Beer, Lucky Clover leaf, The Leprechauns, U2 and Westlife.

Before, I was eager to swap this flight, thinking no Flip-crew, new hotel (Burlington not Arlington ok!) and maybe I'll get bored. To my surprise 3 other Filipino crew including our Captain were on the flight. And the rest of the crew, comprised of South Africans, Bri-ish, Aussie, Czechs,Zimbabwen, Morrocan & Swedish were all nice and warm. What more can I ask for?

Like my last flight, I had only 25 Euros this time so I packed my cooker, cornedbeef, SPAM, 2 bottles of water and white rice for emergency. A bit scared that customs will see that I brought too much to eat that they might inspect my suitcase for those stuff like in United Kingdom which by the way uber strict same with Australia and the USA. So I prayed while passing thru customs and immigration, hehehe, luckily, it was a smooth sail to the bus!

The rest of the crew decided to go out eventhough we have only few hours to sleep and rest. We walked and walked, eat and shopped, and still managed to take some photos, Ei!

Well, since I have an extra Euros to spend right? We dropped by the Penny's and I was lucky enough to find cheap thrills for my mom and my dear Sonia. Woot Woot!

So tired walking but managed to drag ourselves to the hotel, checked my Twitter and FB account then went straight to bed after cleaning and repacking my suitcase.

I love Dublin, people are uber kind and love to drink, sooooo much! Nonetheless, they are kind-hearted people. I can't wait for my next Dublin, but next time, I'll make sure its the long layover and I'll save some cash for a shopping spree, Stop me!

Ciao...
