For this trip we have 1 iPhone, 1 iPad, 1 GoPro Hero 3, 1 Tep Wireless 3G Hotspot and 1 Garmin GPS. Keeping these charged in the car presents certain…challenges.

Arrival in Ireland

bmw

We made it to Ireland safe and sound. We picked up the car, a shiny BMW 3 Series, and made our way to Dundalk to check in to the Glenngatt House B&B. We were pretty tired and took a short nap before getting up and finding some dinner.

Our dinner was at a place called The Left Bank and the food was fantastic, especially the baked mushrooms with bacon and cheese.

We went back to the B&B and even though it was only 7:00 pm local time. we decided to go ahead and go to sleep as we were quite exhausted.

Sometime around 2:00 am Cynthia woke me up and she was crying. She had to get up and go to the bathroom and somehow managed to knock my glasses off of the table and then step on them…

I reassured her that it was no big deal as I always carry a spare pair just in case of such emergencies. She was able to calm down and we both went back to sleep.

We’re headed to Portballintrae today, via the coast highway. Sky is overcast and rainy but our spirits are high.

Look out, Ireland! Here we come!

We’re about to leave for our trip to Ireland. We’re very excited. Our first driving tour since the time we drove across the U.K. back in 2003. Cynthia may regret giving the OK on this choice. She already doesn’t like my driving here in the USA.
