I’ve
stood
in
a
wind
tunnel.
It
was
for
work.
It
was
loud
and,
well,
windy.
Ireland
is
an
island.
Generally,
islands
tend
to
be
more
windy
than
some
other
geographic
locations.
Sometimes,
the
wind
is
stronger
near
the
coasts
of
islands.
The
Premier
Suites
is
about
a
15-minute
drive
from
the
coast
here
in
Ireland.
While
I’m
extremely
confident
that
the
construction
of
the
Premier
Suites
building
is
structurally
sound
enough
to
withstand
any
and
all
winds,
I
think
the
engineers
who
designed
and
built
the
hotel
never
lived
in
a
windy
locale.
Or
they
were
deaf.
I
say
this
because
the
structural
sounds
of
this
building
being
battered
the
island’s
constant
gusts
make
the
Premier
Suites
LOUDER
than
standing
inside
a
wind
tunnel.
This
is
especially
acute
at
the
front
of
the
building
where,
unfortunately,
the
suite’s
bedrooms
are
situated.
All
night,
every
night,
the
winds
would
howl
as
they
blasted
whatever
un-aerodynamic
bits
are
on
the
front
of
the
building.
As
you
can
imagine,
the
decent
location,
nice
layout,
and
practical
features
of
the
apartment
are
of
no
consequence
when
stepping
out
of
bed
in
the
morning
after
a
few
tortured
hours
of
heinous
sounds
keeping
my
family
awake.
This
terror
is
amplified
by
the
moans
and
grumpiness
of
two
sleepless
teenage
girls.
Oh,
and
the
intense
smell
of
some
noxious
chemical
cleaner
when
we
first
walked
in
the
apartment
was
frightening.
I
shudder
to
think
what
other
odor
the
cleaner
was
covering
up.
At
least
we
were
able
to
open
the
windows
and
sliding
door
to
let
those
strong
winds
blow
the
likely-poisonous
odors
out
to
sea.
