Cable? How quaint.

The only internet access I had in Ireland was through this broadband cable in the hotel room. I think I am spoiled with wireless for a cable seems quite quaint and I wasn't sure where to stick it into the laptop.

I should be happy there was a cable in the hotel though. Internet cafes seemed to close around six and most of my websurfing was done after ten.

Biiig Hotel

So our hotel near Dublin was rather large. Here we start from our room. . .

down the hall and turn right. . .

down another hall. . .

turn again. . .

past the staff elevator. . .

around another corner. . .

down a really long hallway. . .

turn right again. . .

down another hallway, observe the exit sign

and finally to the stairs (or the elevators on the other side of the hallway)

once we get to the stairs it's down four flights, another hallway and finally to the lobby. It is rather amusing that the lights in the stairwell and in the hallways near our room are triggered by motion sensors.

Besides the main building there is a whole other hotel building and a separate conference center and a different building for the gym. Big place. Oh, and did I mention that the hotel is in the middle of their own big golf course?
