I've arrived!

I've officially made it to Ireland safe and sound...although sans luggage. I had a feeling it would happen though. Things went well otherwise. I had good flights that were on time. I feel like it was a sign that good things were to come when I sat next to a Rabi on my flight from Mpls. to New York. I decided to spend the night at Chandra's instead of going up to Donegal right away so that I could pick up my luggage myself. Last time it was lost and they tried to deliver it, it ended up in Cashel and then Tipperary before I finally received it...and we all know "it's a long way to Tipperary." I was exhausted anyway and it probably wouldn't have been a wise idea to drive 4 hours after that long trip. I made it up to Glencolumbkille yesterday, had a nice relaxing night. There is a big group of Germans here at the language college so there was lots of fiddle music about last night. I also met a group of "Milwaukees" that are here for the Derry/Donegal program. It's kind of funny...they feel the same way about Glen as the rest of us and spend every weekend down here and have plans to move here someday also. I told them to start working on it now because it takes a good few years. Something about this place I guess. I'm just going to relax this weekend because I think next week will be pretty crazy trying to get myself settled. Hopefully I'll get some pictures posted from Glen soon. Until next time...
