Five Things: Pre-Ireland
This is kind of a lame Five Things Friday, but there's a lot going on right now as I prepare for my three day business trip to Ireland. So, here's a very short list of five things about my upcoming trip to Ireland.
1. I will spend about 14 hours actually on a plane each way to and from Ireland. But due to time zones, my flight to Ireland will eat up two days (including a 6 hour lay over in Chicago), while my return trip will eat up only one day. Something that gets my head all twisted up and knotted inside.
2. The business I will be attending to is the 10-year anniversary celebration of a fork lift company, called Combilift. I will be attending this event along with over 100 other media representatives, and will have to write an article on the event and the company, focusing on how their new forklift works well for aluminum extruders.
3. The gentleman who set this all up for me is named Gearoid, which is pronounced "Gar-road." (I think.)
Pretty cool name. Though, I imagine he has quite a hard time with spelling it out for people and telling them how to properly pronounce it. Anyway, he seems like a cool guy over the phone (Irish accent), and I will get to meet him in person at the event.
4. I may get the chance to take a ride in a helicopter. Yay!
5. I will definitely be eating dinner at an Irish castle with all the other media, and I plan on visiting some local ruins. Don't be jealous.
Anyway. I leave Sunday, and I probably won't post anything until I get back. Have a great weekend and week, one and all.
