Arrival in Dublin; the [long] day 1

Anyone ever seen the movie Up In The Air? I watched it on my trans-Atlantic flight, which landed in Dublin at approximately 6:30 AM. Passing through immigration was a piece of cake, and so was finding my bag at the baggage claim. Soon, the four of us study-abroad students who were on that flight together were waiting for the program coordinators (Don and Martin) to arrive. Picking up all the arrivals was quite the process in the morning, as there were three groups of students arriving at the airport at three different times, someone who arrived the day before, two guys who took the ferry over from Liverpool, and a few others meeting up in Dublin via other means of transportation. Eventually, we were all on our comfortable big bus as Martin lulled most of our sleep-deprived bodies to sleep with his educational (and now forgotten) commentating of a spontaneous bus tour of Dublin City Centre. After doing some shopping for dinner groceries, we headed back to campus and unloaded our stuff into our designated rooms.
