Joe, Ro + Charlie´s Blog (plus Dani): Day 1: Bye Bye

Saturday, August 23, 2008

After years of careful planning D day has finally come!! We packed our bags & said the last of the goodbyes to head for Dublin Airport.

Ro even finished Leon´s rocking horse after 9 months in the making!

Ro & myself left from the Galway bus station, where we said our emotional farewells:

Bye Kevin!

We met Charlie with Mary, Pauge, Simon, Eoin, Sarah & uncle Gab at the airport, bye bye!

To everyone we didn´t get to see before we left, we´ll miss ye all loads & keep in touch (tear!)

Rule 1: Don´t trust Joe. (An old Dolphin rule that I find comes in handy wherever you are!)
Rule 2 : You must go out on the first night in any hostel or new city.
Rule 3 : You are not allowed go upstairs in any bar or hostel. Downstairs is where the fun is! Unless the bar is upstairs, then your not allowed go downstairs!
Rule 4 : No McDonalds or the likes!!
Rule 4 (i) : Unless you are hungover...
Rule 4 (ii) : Unless you have been mugged...
Rule 5 : Ducks are for life, not just for the craic!
Rule 6 : Free Internet = Crap Internet and long queues!
Rule 7 : If talking about Ireland you say it is the best place in the world and it never rains there!
Rule 8 : Never trust a beared German with your surf board!
