That was my experience in Shannon’s airport. Manual trans, which I can drive, but was on the opposite side so left handed shifting plus rock fences and busses left me on a white knuckle drive to Galway. I didn’t sleep on the flight over from SF. Ireland was great, but I should have gotten a hotel, slept, then gone to Moher but it was a work trip.

We flew from Toronto to Dublin overnight and stayed up all day once we landed. I was so tired. We also did a ton of walking that day, including a walking tour of Dublin. We did it to try and be on a normal schedule while there.

I remember it being like 6am and I was at a Starbucks trying to order a coffee with some heavy cream. I was struggling with the accent and they were very confused by the order.
