first off ill tell you right now, the Argentine Dialogue will prolly not get finished, going back through those last days which were pretty shitty, just makes me all the more bitter and resentful over my time at northeastern. maybe somewhere down the line, ill go through it for yall, but dont hold your breath.
28/29812
well, made a United Airlines flight from Milwaukee to Newark, but apparently there was a system wide computer issue, like system wide, not just the Milwaukee Airport but like, everywhere. and given todays digital age, of course nothing worked, the ticket agents barely knew how to operate without the computers so it took extra long for us to get our not real tickets.
these not real tickets were in fact hand written tickets, that were scrutinized by the wonderfully competent Milwaukee TSA agents. our plane showed up a lil late, and landed us a lil late, not to fear i thought, as we had over an hour to get to our next plane.
well we landed just fine, with 40 min to spare. however, because of the backup the overhead announcement assured us our connecting flights would be late too. and the gates were a lil behind. so we sat on the tarmac, and watched the minutes tick by, and at 935 we watched our direct Newark to Dublin flight leave with out us.
upon finally getting to the gate at 945 we hurried over to the gate next to use, which was apparently the only other direct flight to Dublin until the 1st of sept.
couldnt make it on that flight.
so united fucked us. and to follow that up, they gave us a food voucher for the airport
and we got a wonderful free night in a hotel in Newark, new Jersey.
now i dunno if you have ever been to Newark, or at least flown through. but it sucks, basically flying through is all youd ever want to do, there is nothing there, its an industrial/port town. we got on a hotel shuttle which had to get on 3 freeways for a total of maybe 1 mile of travel to get us to the hotel. we were literally staying on a free way island, without a car, there was nothing for us to do.
if we had been stuck in Boston, or DC or New York it woulda been bearable, id know what to do before our 430 flight the next day.
that 430 flight by the way, wasnt taking us to Dublin, cause i guess they only fly direct to Dublin twice on Tuesday night, and once on Saturday night in any given week. so we went to Dusseldorf, had another layover and then got to Dublin 1130am on Thursday, a full 29 hours late. awesome.
once in Dublin we began to navigate the bus system getting to our "guesthouse" easily. there we proceeded to find some food in the neighborhood, take a nap, and decide to hit up the Guinness "Storehouse" tour.
now this wasnt a brewery tour, dont get excited, it was basically a lil museum set up by Guinness to walk you through the process but never actually see it happen. being that i have been on a few of said tours in my day, i was a little disappointed.
anyways the place was crammed with Notre Dame and Navy people, which honestly further detracted from the experience but whatever. by the end of it we got a free (lol after paying the entrance fee of course) pint at the top of the place.
after the tour we went home and went to sleep, at like 630pm
