Finally

After a million 'goodbyes" and a month in Kansas City, I have finally made it to Dublin.  I left a windy and snowy Kansas City around noon on the 29th for Chicago.  After four hours or so in Chicago, I boarded the plane for Dublin. I arrived at my final destination around two in the morning central time and eight in the morning Dublin time.  
In this short period of time I've already managed to blow up my alarm clock (sorry mom), thus blowing a fuse in my room and worrying that I was going to burn down my room. I've also realized that I have to buy a million things due to adapters not working and forgetfulness.  
I have no idea where I am but I know I need to figure that out fast.  I seem to be the only person in my suite so far which is awkward, but I think they should  be arriving soon.  
I could go on about how my mom decided to take pictures of me boarding the plane or how I cried a million times saying goodbye but that's just typical Bowman behavior and what's the use of being repetitive? Just kidding, but I'll leave you with a few pictures I took before leaving and the first of my arrival in Dublin.  I miss you all!

Good morning from KC - again! Thanks for the "arrival call" and it's great knowing that you're safe and sound in Dublin. We'll get the word out to family and friends to check out your blog so keep those pictures coming! Not to worry about the alarm clock - go get another one and get some "adapter/converter electrical outlet" training ;-)

Love, Mom, Dad & Murphy

Don't drink all your euros the first night! And get some wheels to check out the city.

Good to hear from you at 3 this morning. Follow Reas' advice on the euros.

Hope you have a wonderful experience in Ireland. Greg said to remind you that when he asked for extra ice in his coke he received 2 cubes!

Have a blast!

Hello Sarah!

The man sitting in that chair has very large feet! And it looks like he's snoring! Hope you're having a wonderful time in Dublin!
