Will I Make It to Dublin?

Anyone comes close right this very moment and I will scratch, bite and most likely strangle. I WAS in elation but now close to murdering. I have been surfing since yesterday for a cheap and cheerful holiday deal from London to Dublin but lo and behold, damn to expedia for getting my hopes up, only to viciously crush it by telling me that the itinerary cannot be booked.

Why?

Damn again.
Something about Aer Lingus unable to issue e-tickets.

So I'm pissed off.
Really pissed off.
EXTREMELY pissed off.

To top it off, let's see.... the accomodation for London is not booked either? Neither Hamburg nor Paris. Only Berlin and Cologne. Slap me silly but yes, I'm the queen of whining about pre-trip whines of being unprepared but this trip tops it all.

Talk about being totally unprepared!

I'm excited anyhow!
Guess what? Guess what?
Little Missy is sponsoring the Dublin trip as my birthday gift.
Conrad Hotel.... *chuckle*
I'm so touched I can cry.
This is the first time in like a decade I'm actually celebrating my Birthday.
Too weird, too weird.

For now, the little getaway seems so far away as I'm unable to get us reasonably priced air tickets.
Bummer!

As a return for that sweet gesture, I've agreed to do a Paris day trip with him.

Argghhh.... wish me some luck here!
I need loads of it!
Not getting anywhere with my Dublin itinerary.

Ok... back to trip planning.... Dublin Dublin Dublin....
Don't know why, but I keep thinking of gnomes and Dobby when I think Dublin.
Too much Enid Blyton I think?

P.S. Can't wait to see you on Sunday my dear African Queen! I'll provide the noose for you to strangle me (on another day) for not making it to Windsor this time. You can kill me on a Monday, a Tuesday.... but never on a Sunday. Mmmm-muaks! See ya!
