Traveling with Eli


Well, here we are in Dublin, Ireland after a will breaking, life sucking trip over with a New York layover.
Turns out 2 year olds are as dependent upon sleep and food as you might imagine. Turns out they enjoy walking tours of New York as much as you think they would. Turns out losing your passport in a new city before traveling overseas is as much of a pain in the ass as it sounds, and yes...you do cry.
It has been a crazy 2 days. And I mean crazy! But then we landed in Dublin. The people of Ireland are as charming as you might imagine. The city as beautiful as you think. And the accent, well, it seems I have a wee one meself.
It is almost 9 o'clock here in Dublin and I am going to go listen to some traditional Irish folk music before the evening is over. Yes, I'm going to O'Donaghues and then to Foley's. The evening is young, and I had a nap.

  1. My heart really went out to you when I read your Facebook posts about what happened. I would've cried, too! I hope the rest of the trip is so wonderful it makes you forget all about the first few days!

  2. Thank you Lisa! It truly was hellish but what a story :D Smiling after the fact, of course. Ireland really is wonderful and we are all adjusting to the new schedule, including Eli. Cliffs of Moher and Dingle here we come!
