OK... so at last we get to the part of the journey where Bill and I arrive at Mount Herbert Hotel in Dublin in time to see a coach load of American tourists blocking the whole darned entrance. I remarked to Bill... "I wonder if that's Barby's group just arriving too", and we made our way through the crowd to the reception desk, me with eyes everywhere searching for a familiar face. While Bill was checking us in, a young man with a clipboard (Steve, as I was yet to find out) stepped up next to me. I summoned all my courage to ask him "Excuse me, is this the Explorica tour group ?" and as he replied, from behind me I heard "TINA !!"... and there she was !
