Holidays are Over.... for now?!?

I've been working too hard for the past months, i think I deserve a relaxing holiday in one of the famous European cities but unfortunately I CAN'T HAVE ONE!

Why??!?

Ssssh! don't tell the Gardai but i'm already an illegal alien here in Ireland since 12th April. My work permit as well as my Irish visa expired last 11th April. I'm not overly concerned about being illegal here. I know (and I hope!) our company is doing something to push the process of our work permit/green card. I know (and I hope!) they will not let all the international employees in KPMG to be sent home because of the glitches that they are currently encountering with the employment department.

What my real concern on this is - I have a lot of travel plans for the bank holidays for the coming months but I CAN'T push those plans! I booked flights for Prague and Zurich this May but i think i have no choice but to cancel it. I want to visit the Eiffel Tower this June but i don't think my new permit will be approved before that time.

I was trying to search for other places to visit here in Ireland but they are all the same - greens, hills, gardens and castles. Well, I think all I can do now is wait, enjoy what Ireland can offer me. Because on the second thought, this is a wonderful country! Convincing me or convincing myself? whatever!

Forgive me for the sarcasm.

Seriously, I love Ireland! This is indeed a great country! It's just i really want to see new places. I miss travelling!
