I’m glad to hear that Betty, Priscilla and John all made it there safely. I sure wish we could have gone to the casino with Karen, Mark and Olivia to meet you all but we had an 11:00am flight to Dublin. I know you'll have a fun dinner tonight together. Last night we had fun in the Temple Bar area, which is a very happening, place, especially on a Saturday night. Reminded me of Bourbon Street in New Orleans. After we returned to the Westin we had espresso and Sambuca in the lounge with live entertainment. Tom is suffering major “Tony withdrawals” I swear they must have been brothers in a previous life! We all missed Lawrence though! We’re so happy we’ll all be together in January on the “Sambuca” cruise in South America. BTW, Frank and Carla have now signed up for segment 2 as well (barring that everything is OK when they return to Boston). I sure hope it works out for them to join us.....such a fun couple!!

MarnaLou, no problem with the heating or air conditioning at the Westin for us. The weather has been cool so the last thing we’ve needed is AC. We sure love the location of this hotel! The staff has been fine, even delivered a bottle of champagne to our room last night. We’re bringing home approximately 12 bottles of Sambuca and Italian wine we picked up for Cheap Cheap in Rome that’s packed in our suitcases already.

So happy we finally are getting to see Dublin....GREAT city and the Irish people are so much fun! We just ate lunch in a cute Irish pub (O’Neils) ....off to keep exploring!
