Made it to Ireland. We got to see our first land in 5 days after some pretty rough days at sea. Neither one of us ever go seasick, even those the waves one day were over 14 feet high. The rocking of the ship and the sliding glass doors on our balcony open to the sounds of the sea made for some really nice naps in the afternoons on board the ship.

Our normal days during the crossing were: Wake up, go get coffee, enjoy coffee, go work out in the ship's gym, go get breakfast, change into swimsuits and terry cloth bath robes, go to one of the many hot tubs, drink Bloody Mary's or Screw Driver's, go get dried off and take a nap, get up go eat lunch, hang out with friends, go to shows, socialize, then dinner and maybe a late show and bed time. It was great.

Land ho! In Dun Laoghaire (Pronounced: Done Leery) Neat little town. I badly needed a haircut, so we stopped at this Turkish barbershop. It seems like that's the only kind of barbershop they have in Europe.

My first Guinness in an Irish pub... Bucket list checkoff moment...

Prices were really reasonable for all the food and drink in Europe. I was surprised.

Just a cool pic from the pub... These must be some famous local people like ball players and stuff...
