General - Neat little town they call Belfast
I find myself in the Ramada Hotel in Belfast early on Friday probably because of an admin error at work. This place is rather expensive and much more luxurious than the various eysocs Hotels I’ve been staying at all week. I guess it makes up for the poor cabins on the boats anyhow. Yes, this place actually has cookies in the bedrooms a first for me when in Ireland and also hot chocolate!!!!!
I’ve never been disappointed with Dublin and once again our stay was most enjoyable. We were made extremely welcome on all our visits and the level of interest in GPS was well up on last year. We met up with Derry and Martha on Wednesday evening and had a sumptuous Cajon dinner wile Derry entertained us all. They also had a mug printed for me with a picture of Jaid on and her name which I’ll treasure as it was a cute thought and looks lovely. I’m always a little sad when leaving the Irish Republic and this ttime was no exception as we drove over the dividing line in to Northern Ireland a place I’ve never been before.
It is my first time in Belfast but Alan and I were tired last night so a quick trip in to the city and a KFC were all that I saw of this historical place that’s had its share of troubles over the last few years. We have a focus on GPS show at Grovner House today so I will get chance to put my various GPS systems through a good test in the city centre.
More on the next paragraph.
I flew back in to Gatwick airport fantastically assisted by Sarah Lauran Lucy and Brent the flight crew aboard the Airbus. I have to hold the flag up for Easy Jet. They are much better than the other budget carrier and the staff are professional and courteous and go to much trouble to make sure that someone travelling with a Guide Dog is briefed about procedures and informed.
Airport security at each end was rather strict but not taking any liquids on the flight in my hand luggage I didn’t have any problems even though boarding the flight was a little slower than usual. The only disappointing part was when I was in one of the bars at Belfast International. on ordering a second pint of guiniss and the last on Irish soil for a few months I was told by the greet and assist person that I was to go to departure I couldn’t waist this pint of black magic so had to down it in one, a shame as I’d enjoyed the first.
I’m now back at home and recovering from a long week.

Nice BLOG! My ancestors are from Ireland! There are a lot of people who "fret and worry" over every little thing and to do so is also known as DOUBT and to be in doubt is not to have the faith that GOD gave unto us so therefore it is SIN! Wow! What a grabber huh!? Yes, GOD says that we are "full of seed". Pregnant is the word HE used for us. All we have to do is allow HIS word to come forth in us and we bring forth HIS children in us (HIS FRUITS) and we become more like HIM in all we do and say! Hope you come visit my site and BLOG and may you be blessed in HIS love, Katie
