I spent last weekend in Mayo with my family. I managed to get a lift from Dublin to Mayo with my cousin on Friday which was perfect. We stopped a little more than we should have and it actually took over 4 hours to get down. (The joys of your mind wanting foodzies when you hungover).

About 20 pints and a Chinese later, it was Sunday and time to go home. I hadn’t organised a way home yet, so I was considering my options. Train, Bus etc. The train was leaving at 3PM and was aprox €24, this was top of the list. Then I though about Aer Arann and flying home!

For the price of €70 I decided to go for it, I logged on and reserved my seat, perfect. I landed at Sligo airport and man was that a shock to the system. The place was tiny! Seamus and I were about 40 minutes early so we decided to hit the bar. It was amazing, ran by this old lady who was brilliant crack.

I hop on the flight at 5.30PM and land by 6PM. Safe to say, this is now my new method of transport.
