Killarney, Ireland

The company's destination for our global meeting and working session was at Ireland. The nearest airport to this little town called Killarney is Cork.

It seems we took days to reach there, and indeed it took us almost 24 hours to reach Killarney.

Here'e the journey.

I left home at 9 pm as we arranged to meet at 9.30 pm at T3. Our flight is scheduled to depart at 11.30 pm. The flight was delayed for almost 1 hour and we finally took off at 12.30am. We sat in the jumbo airplane A380 enjoying the big personal tv screen with nice supper and pipping hot carrot cake for breakfast. 13 hours later, we arrived into London heathrow airport to catch our connection flight to Cork. There were supposed to be 3 hours of layover but the delayed flight in SIN took away an hour and so we left with 2 hours. We walked through many corridors and queue for almost 30 minutes to clear the British immigration before we made our way to terminal 1 for our connecting flight. The flight took us 1 hour to Cork and we had to travel by coach for another 1 hour and 15 minutes to Killarney. By the time we reach Killarney, it was almost 2 pm in Europe and 9 pm in SIN.

4 days of meeting, working sessions, sightseeing, networking and catching up with colleagues, passed quickly. And before you realise and trying to get over the jetlag, you are supposed to fly home....
