My first class today was supposed to be an hour and a half, and instead it ended up being two and a half hours. We're not having this particular class one day next week, and he said he'd add some time on the next few classes to make up for it, but that ended up being half an hour yesterday and an hour today rather than half an hour over three classes, which is what I thought would happen. Two and a half hours is a very long class.

A couple days ago I mentioned to my host mum's daughter that I was going to Ireland for spring break, and she advised me to book a tour. I thought about it and decided that was a good idea, so today I started looking at tours. I found a 5-day one that fits over my spring break that takes me most of the places I want to go and takes care of my accomodation and so on, for a really great price (getting there and traveling around for five days and all that for £212!), but when I tried to book and pay for it, it seems there's something wrong with my debit card. I don't even know what it was, since I was entering everything correctly. I didn't bring my credit card today, so I'm going to hope that that tour doesn't fill up by tonight or tomorrow when I can try my credit card.

And it is only five days, when I have a good nine or ten for my spring break, but this tour is only Republic of Ireland. That's fine with me, since I can take a few days after that to go to Northern Ireland, because I want to see Belfast and the Giant's Causeway and then come back on my own. There are some things I still some things I have to plan myself, but a tour will make things much easier.

Gah! Stupid debit card! Hopefully I can still get this tour.

Your bank may have blocked your card. Before I went to Belgium I went to Wells Fargo and told them that I was going abroad for three months and they added a note to my account and STILL blocked it a couple of weeks into being there. I would call and ask.

We must meet for a drink or something before you leave these shores!

I could have sworn I'd already replied to this, but apparently not. Whoops! But yes! Definitely sometime before I leave. :D

When do you leave? Or have a free evening/weekend?

[rynne.livejournal.com]

I leave 15th May and am actually pretty free before that, with only a few evenings and one weekend (23/24 April) definitely booked. When would be most convenient for you?

[magic-at-mungos.livejournal.com]

Weekend wise 1st or 2nd weekened in May would be good and most evenings. Shall we pencil in a weekend day?

Would this Friday work for you? I've been making more concrete plans for other weekends (second weekend in May I'm going to Norway!), but the tentative plans I had for Friday fell through and I'd welcome company, if you're free.

Funny you should say that! I'm in London for a meeting Friday afternoon until about 3ish, so can meet you after that.

Where would it be easy for you to get to?

[rynne.livejournal.com]

I've got an oyster card and a map, so I can get pretty much anywhere. Probably a tube station would be easiest, though.

Awesome. Outside the Empire in Leicester Square at about 4ish?

Sounds good! And just so you know, this is what I look like. :)
