So it was this last weekend past, that I had planned to relocate from London to Dublin. After searching around for a decent carrier to ship stuff for me (the cheapest (with insurance) being around 1000£ !) I found the best and safest option was to do it myself. The plan was carefully laid out like so;
- Hire a medium sized van – pack my stuff in on Thursday night
- Drive to Dublin (via Holyhead, Wales) on Friday, un-pack Friday night, and then,
- on Saturday, drive back to London (via Holyhead, Wales),
- with a final flight back over to Dublin on Sunday, ready to start work Monday morning
Here’s the original plan on Google Maps
Ambitious you might say? I though not, I had set plenty of extra time in the plan for making the journey, even with problems. Only doing one major thing each day. Or so I thought … what I’m about to tell you, you could not dream up. I am still recovering from tiredness even today… (warning, long story below)
