About patience and results



Well… it seems everything is on the move right now. Quite normal, if we think about it... Taking into account that at this time, in 13 days, I will be waiting at the boarding gate in Barajas.

Last Thursday night I decided it was time to by my ticket to Dublin. After having compared all the different options for the flights –flying on July 2nd and returning on September 28th, flying the 2nd and returning the 29th, flying on July 3rd…- and comparing between different webpages –Skyscanner and Edreams, Edreams and Iberia, Iberia and AerLingus…- I bought my ticket. And I’m going to Dublin next July 2nd.

Once I had the tickets in my hand (though where they really are is in my inbox), I kept on looking for accommodation. Driving myself crazy, because no matter how much I looked, I could find nothing acceptable. Even after filtering by neighborhoods, everything seemed too far, or too expensive, or too shabby… Yolanda, the coordinator in Spain, gave me the e-mail address of the 3 girls who are now in Dublin, and I contacted them. And, also María, who is the sisterofafriendofmysiste and has been lending me a hand.

In the end, I don’t remember exactly how, I ended up on an Agency’s webpage, which accommodates people who go to Dublin, and also organizes English courses. So, after a couple of e-mails, I booked a room yesterday.

Eire, here we go!
