O bed! O bed! Delicious bed! That heaven upon earth to the weary head.

I've decided I'll post a new blog every Thursday until I leave... however today is Wednesday and I'm cheating... Now that I've confessed, on to the hotels!

Actually, I'm a little overly excited about my Longford hotel. I'll be staying at Cooney's Hotel in Ballymahon (which is down near the bottom of the county). Booking it was a little strange... I sent an email asking if they had vacancy from April 11-14 and a very nice lady (named Anne) emailed me back. She said yes and they had tentatively booked me a single room! I just had to send her my credit card info... of course my cell won't let me call Ireland (something I'll need to rectify before I leave) so I emailed it. Talk about nerve wracking. Anyway, it's all booked now and I couldn't be happier. Check in time is "around lunchtime" lol but they can accomadate me if I have an earlier flight. How nice are these people? Anyway... it was 190 euros for 3 nights which rounds up to about $242.00. And! It comes with a free Irish breakfast every morning! There's a bar there too, not that I'll frequenting it of course.
Here is the link to their site if you want to know more: http://www.cooneyshotel.com/index.htm

Now, as for Dublin... it looks very nice but not as small and personal. (Of course I could be completely wrong.) Either way, I like my choice!
It's got WiFi in my room (unlike Cooneys where I'll be hunting for a cyber cafe of some sort to blog to everyone) and 24 hour room-service. Check in is at 2 and check out is at noon. It's about 15 minutes from the airport too.

Now, let's hope there are no bed bugs in Ireland!!! LOL (I don't want to walk the streets at 4am again, huh Linz?! hahaha eeek)

~Until next week~
