My journey is off to a rough start due to the fact that my flight in Rochester was delayed for three hours, and thats three hours of sitting on the plane looking out the window at the runway mind you. This delay caused a domino affect of missing flights, leading to me having to spend the night in Dublin.
The upside to the story is that The good people at Aer Lingus put me up at the 200 Euro per night Radisson hotel, and hooked me up with free food and drinks. So I was at least able to fulfill the dream of having a pint of Guinness in Dublin. And after all of the craziness of delayed flights and not making it to Italy when I was supposed to, it was a very delicious and well deserved pint. The Guinness also went perfectly with the bangers and mashed that I devoured.
