Home again, home again jiggity jig

Well we are home, and actually have been. We landed late Memorial Day. I have been so busy, with being gone so long, work really piled up. And La Sirena moved last week-end so I have helped her pack and unpack, AND I have been suffering from the worst jet lag you can imagine. I have never been affected by it before. Not pleasant nor productive. By the way, in previous posts the day #s are all wrong, so ignore them.

Also, I have written this post 3 times. Each time I was just about to submit, the whole site went away. I hope I have better luck this time....


...but where was I? Oh, yes, we said good-bye to Lithuania. Well I still have stories to tell, later.

We left Lithuania at 11:30 PM on the 20th and arrived in Dublin at 12:30 AM. We had a room reserved right by the airport. We headed to Northern Ireland in the morning. All I can say is I never need to go back to Belfast again!

The people are really not friendly; although that is understandable. There is just not much charm in the city. Also, it was odd seeing statues erected to someone as if they were a hero, when I was raised considering them a villain. At any rate, we ended up not even eating there; we just moved on up the road. On to Carrigfergus.....
