I don’t have anything interesting to say about life in Dublin at the moment. Life is plodding along, work is good, our apartment is proving adequate and survived the first round of visitors with only one casualty (the toilet cistern!), although we won’t blame that on them, seeing as the other toilet cistern broke identically one week later!
Next weekend (29th July) we’re heading over to Cambridge, UK for the wedding of one of my friends which should be a lot of fun and a good chance to catch up with some NZers that I haven’t seen for a while. We’re trying out Ryan Air to get to there. The horror stories and bubbly recommendations of their service seem to come in equal volumes!
Before that, I’m nipping off to New York for a few days for a training course for work. It looks be to an interesting course so I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can. The trip was organised at the last minute so I’m not going to have much time to look around the city unfortunately. I guess I’ll just have to plan a second trip at a later date.
I leave Dublin on Sunday afternoon on Air Lingus, arrive New York (JFK) Sunday evening, attend the course Mon – Thu, 9am – 5pm and then leave from Newark at 10pm Thursday evening flying on Continental to arrive back in Dublin at 9:30am on Friday morning! Then first thing on Saturday morning it’s off to Cambridge.
I’ll take the camera and keep you posted!
