But unlike these small things that were stressful, I had a huge other path to overcome. It was an enormous baby step that took part in my travels. From taking my first flight ever that ended up turning to an international flight to becoming fiercely independent trying to find my flight on my own. As I try to keep my cool and my tears back from falling as my sisters departed me to my flight, I was tremendously excited! But what came from this excitement also comes with an enormous amount of nerves.<\/p>\n<p>The first flight from Tampa to Atlanta was a lot shorter then the flight from Atlanta to Dublin. Sleeping on the plane was a hassle and barley clocking in at an hour for sleep. I can say the airport is somewhere you can always find someone to talk to and relate to in some way or another! It&#8217;s an amazing concept that one can simply talk about one destination that brings up loads of other topics of conversations. As the plane touched down to Dublin airport, my eyes gasped seeing the amount of green that took place in the landscape. And gasped even more when finding that the houses and buildings were beautifully made.<\/p>\n<p>We checked in our hotels rooms and scattered to find the best bed. We departed from our hotel rooms with little to no sleep wanting to see more of Dublin.The accents of the Irish pinches my cheeks every time I here it. The people here are friendly and beyond nice and considerate. We explored the many shops of Dublin and for the most part explored what the streets and bridges had to offer. I can&#8217;t wait to see what else Dublin has to offer tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am usually a very easy going person although I am known to stress a lot about the small things.
