You have me in stitches here talking about your packing and bag bursting etc, I take full responsibility for bringing you shopping. Given BF's bad attitude at the moment I think we should blame the milkybars that you got him they definitely pushes it over the edge!
Sorry to have brought you shopping so much, but am glad that you found that magical new bag in Dublin airport, its hilarious that you can't get them in the US, I was only telling you about the time that Jansport was a brand that only Irish students who had spent the summer in the US knew about and it was a badge of life to have one!
Yes the Irish taxi system really let poor Nat down, glad you had a good experience, aren't you lucky I didn't book your cab after all- the B&B's company are obviously much more reliable than my used-to-be regular one. Am on the search for a new taxi company now.
Hope you got some good sleep and that BF is behaving better..set Kodiak on him!
