Day 21: June 29, 2013 Airport Troubles and Irish Pubs!

Today was alright but ended great. After a hard night not getting enough sleep, I woke up around 10:00 and showered, got ready. I ran down to Starbucks and got a vanilla bean. We met everyone downstairs at 11:30. We got on the tube and went to kings cross station. Then we bought tickets and it actually turned out nice - we thought they were going to be £26 but if we got in groups of 4, we got them for £13! We got on the train and I slept. Then we got to the airport and checked in. Security is what was freaking ridiculous. I forgot about a plastic bag so they had a fit over that. I was wearing my rain boots which they made me take off. After I went through the security, my bag went on the other side and I was like uh what the heck?! Apparently they had to look through it so I had to wait for like 15 minutes for the freaking guy to get to me. Then he pulled out everything of my bag - my toiletries, my pills, my clothes, I'm really surprised he didn't put my underwear on my head, it would've probably be less embarrassing. I was so pissed. Turns out all the fuss was over my Chapstick - apparently they consider that a liquid... Dick!!! Jena and I booked it to the gate, bypassing all this food which sucked because we were starving. Ugh it was just a big ordeal, I've never had a worse experience at an airport before. We got on the plane and I slept the whole time. We got off and got on a bus that took us to our hostel. Our hostel is actually really nice. I am rooming with Jess, Shelby, Sam, Tayler, and Cassidy T and I have the bottom bunk. We got all settled then headed right across the street/alley to this pub. They just had some fun music playing. We ordered dinner - I got this penne pasta which was pretty good. Then a really cute Irish fellow sang with his guitar. Super cute! It was so fun, we just chilled there until like 9:30 and listened to music. We tried a few virgin drinks, Jena got a Shirley temple and the waiters were like uh what's a Shirley temple? Haha we wanted dessert so we went to this little diner called Eddie Rockets - pretty sure he's the brother of Johnny Rockets. I got a chocolate brownie shake which was really good. We stayed there for a few hours just talking and having a good time. We went back to the hostel and got ready for bed. I love Ireland and I haven't even really seen Ireland... Haha just like a corner of the city. But I love it! Night!
