Surviving trans-atlantic flight without coffee??

Greetings from Ireland. Wish you were here!

I've been up for 2 straight days (well if you don't count a few restless ZZZ on the flight from New York to Dublin), but I'm still smiling.... why? I've just realized that I've managed to keep going today without propping myself up with coffee.

After spending over 15 hrs in airports and airplanes (there were lots of delays yesterday) I stepped off the overnight flight this morning in Dublin, and instead of hitting the coffee bar, I hit the juice bar (I was VERY happy to see a juice bar after coming through arrivals - that is a major personal change since my last trip home in Nov 08!). I scanned their menu for all the vegetable juices, and was a bit disappointed to see that their "Detox Juice" was about their only real selection of veggies - and it just had celery. They give me a funny look when I asked if they had any other veggies, like broccoli or kale, or spinach. So when that was a "No", I asked them to add in some carrots and to make it a large one!

So, with my juice in hand, I rented my car and did the 2 hr drive down to Monaghan. Then I drank loads of tea (well it is the Irish way)....

But I didn't get that awful post coffee mixed with jet lag letdown....and I managed to keep going all day with lots of energy and no power-nap.

But its 11pm Irish time and I've got a wedding to go to tomorrow, so I had better get my beauty sleep. Its my chance to show off that size 6 dress that I can now fit into thanks to the Martha's Vineyard Detox Diet. Thank you Dr. Roni!
