In search of Leprechauns

Well I'm off to Ireland tomorrow for one night. I fly into Belfast and out of Dublin. It's a quick trip that is one night and two very long days. I am flying RyanAir. They are a regional, low cost option for flying. They don't fly the major airports but if you need to get somewhere cheaply than this is your plane. My cost to fly from Birmingham, U.K. to Belfast, Ireland was .04 pence. That's right 4 pence. The pence over here is what we would call the penny. The taxes were about 20 sterling (sterling is the U.S. dollar). And if you want to check a bag it will cost you another ten sterling. Yes, if you want to change your clothes, brush your teeth and comb your hair, it's going to cost you. Needless to say, I will be checking a bag as I'm not quite fully European yet.

Tell Ryan he runs a fine airline and you can't beat the prices.

Hmmmm, 2 meter leprechaun. I think I did in Dublin but he was running from the cops.

Nice hair! Sort of looks like John's arm... or maybe someone else's?
