There&#8217;s a lounge area with a sofa, a desk, and a round reading table with two cushioned chairs. The bathroom is marble-tiled with a deep-soaking tub and a glass shower from which can be seen through expansive windows, the active harbor. And a king-size bed. Ahh, the bed. I ache to lay down and close my eyes. No. I know better. I learned this as a flight attendant working international all-nighters. Easy to fall into bed once at the hotel. Much, much harder to wake to an alarm set for three hours after arrival. Which you have to do. You can&#8217;t sleep all day to be up all night then work the return flight in the morning. Now, the consequence of disruptive sleep patterns, is touring a layover city sleep deprived. A zombie state which I&#8217;ve actually come to appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s something to be said for a sleep deprivation buzz. Words translate to sound like a 45 rpm record set at 33 &amp; 1\/3&#8230; slow and comically distorted. I stand vertically but I sway horizontally, like I&#8217;m floating on a slightly deflated water lounger, undulating in rhythm with the waves. Yes, as a permanent condition this is detrimental. But if one must be in this temporary altered state, one might as well find a groove and ride the buzz.<\/p>\n<p>I brush my teeth, splash my face with cold water, and hit the streets of Kinsale&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s tired (Don&#8217;t you know she&#8217;s pooped) &#8212;\u00a0 Mel Brooks (Blazing Saddles)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-262 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/travelbeing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FullSizeRender-5-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelbeing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FullSizeRender-5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/travelbeing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FullSizeRender-5.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;m going to like it here&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>..<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-263 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/travelbeing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FullSizeRender-6-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelbeing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FullSizeRender-6-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/travelbeing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FullSizeRender-6.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-264 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travelbeing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FullSizeRender-7-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelbeing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FullSizeRender-7-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/travelbeing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FullSizeRender-7.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The suite is named in Gaelic, (Greek to me).
