New Blog & Dublin

First off, I would like to invite you to start reading my new blog, allieW.  I have started this blog to post things about fashion, beauty and working out.  Three random things I really enjoy.  


This past weekend I went to Dublin with Miya and Aaron, which was a blast considering we left at 7:55am on Friday morning meaning all of us got up by about 5am to catch a 5:30am bus to the airport.  One terrible thing about living in a big city with public transportation to the airport, it takes about an hour to get there.  But all in all, the airport went very smoothly and security incredibly fast considering it was pact there.  Manchester International Airport was on their game!!  Many American airports should take a lesson from them as we were through security in 20 minutes and the light was out the door when we started!!! Very impressed!

At Trinity College.

Arriving shortly after 9am, we set foot on Irish soil and I got another stamp in my passport (one of the best things that happened on that trip).  We got on the airlink express and headed to the Abraham Hostel where we stayed for the two nights we were there.  

Me drinking Guinness for the
first time at the Guinness
Storehouse in Dublin.

In Dublin, we did the Dublin bus tour that took us on a 23 stop tour that had live commentary to tell tourists about each of the locations.  Also, we did a walking tour around Dublin learning about Mollie Malone, Trinity college, and seeing some of the market areas; it was very refreshing and the weather was nice.  The highlight of the trip was going to the Guinness Storehouse and learning about how Guinness beer is made right in Dublin at the factory.  Also, we got to pour our own tap and of course, taste test.  I didn't exactly have a taste for Guinness, it was incredibly heavy and bitter.  Overall, this trip was a success and would recommend Dublin to anyone!

My certificate saying I have crafted "the perfect pint."

Peace and love from England,
