I finally made it

I'm here!!!!! Wow what a day. But I will admit it was easier at the airports than I thought. I had no problem finding gates, which for me can be challenging. The flight to London was great. I would recommend British Airlines. They served dinner and also a light breakfast and the best part the drinks where FREE!!!

Now for the exciting part of my day. My baggage did not come with me. So after I fill out the report and my ride is about to leave since she did not see me. I hear my name over the intercom and think YEAH they found my luggage. No just my new boss looking for me. Thank goodness I shipped some clothes over to hold me over.

My new boss is great!! She took me on a drive to a small village outside of Cork and we had a real cup of coffee. Then we went into the city and that was crazy but looks like a fun place to live.

Then this driving on the left!!!! Oh good God I'm surprised nobody gets killed. Cars turning in front of each other and people walking in the street. CRAZY!!!!!

So I get back to the hotel and to my surprise my luggage has arrived and delivered to my room. WHEW!!!

Now I'm excited that I can get online and tell everyone about my day, but first being the dumb American I can't figure out how to plug stuff in. I'm putting this plug here and there and finally call for help. So the front desk sends up this great helper named Hans, and I couldn't ask for better service. He helps me get hooked up to the internet and then discover that my converter doesn't work. GREAT!!! But since I can't read my plugs on all of my stuff I need to plug in doesn't need a converter.

All in all today has been a great day. I think I'm going to really love it here and the people are so nice. They even got me ice for my drink.

Tomorrow should be another exciting day.

Love and miss you all,

Teresa
