The Longest Day! Edmonton-Toronto-London-Dublin

O'Connell Statue in DublinImage by MomentaryShutter via FlickrAlthough it took over 30 hrs. to finally get to Dublin - the main thing is that we made it! and are having a great time! 2 planes had problems - because of the first one - we missed our connection to Montreal & the 2nd flight out of London was delayed by 3 hours.... We had visited 4 different airport lounges by the time we finally arrived in Dublin!
Luckily the was room up front on our flight from Toronto to Heathrow, we were upgraded and had pods to sleep in during the flight to London and had been able to sleep for a bit.
We still weren't quite sure what day it was by the time we got to our hotel around midnight - we walked around O'Connell St. for awhile though just to take a look around for a little bit and were surprised to see so many young college-aged people out and about (turns out Trinity College was just up the road). We grabbed a bit of dinner at a US-style diner and then headed back to the hotel to get some sleep.
It felt so good to finally be in Dublin!
