We finally arrive Monday morning at 7:30 after an eight hour flight. We pick up our car and head for Ballyjamesduff. There is an abbey located there that my friend really wanted to see. Forty-five minutes after picking up our car, we are finally leaving Dublin! We had some trouble with the round…

Weekend break in Co. Kerry, Southwest of Ireland. Escaped from bustling city of dublin to the most breathtaking part of emerald island. Did the usual travelling like staying in hostel before but this time we wanted to be close to the nature. CAMPING! Sounds fun but requires mental stamina. Because …

I used to go out with a bloke who I thought was 'mad', 'crazy', 'spontaneous'. But after an episode one summer I was left feeling perhaps he was slightly more unhinged than I'd originally suspected. I'd met him outside a club, the club was full so him, his friend and our group hooked up to find som…

3-30-08   After a good nights sleep I woke up rested. I woke up before my alarm, so got up, showered and typed up my blog entry from the travel day/first day in Dublin. I bought a Bluetooth Travel Keyboard to use with my PDA. I decided I did not want to drag my laptop around this trip, so I …

  We awoke early on the Oscar Wilde. (that turned out to be the name of the ship)  We hurried our way down to the lower decks for some breakfast and to watch the sunrise over the ocean.  With nothing but deep blue around us and a burning red and yellow sun on the horizon, it was a be…

What can I say about Dublin other than it is a wonderful city?! The people are incredibly friendly and the atmosphere feels strangely like home to me. We only spent a few days in Dublin, but the time I spent there was wonderful. My diet consisted entirely of Guiness during this leg of the journey. …

The first day of our adventure overseas began with an overnight flight from Chicago to Dublin.  When we arrived, Our first task was to figure out how the heck to get to our hotel. As if it wasn't bad enough to be driving on the wrong side of the road, on the wrong side of the ca…

Spent 4 months deployed in Europe. Got a chance to travel on my days off. Check out my photos!

...Ah the emerald isle, we really did come up to Dublin to check out the pubs. I mean really, to have our travelin beer-fest on the road we had to come up here. And it was well worth it. Blake liked that we could communicate with the Irish easier than with the Germans, yet there was getting use to.…

Down to just one friend and myself, we returned to Dublin and hit a few more sights before flying out early Saturday morning.  Dublin is late city, not an early one.  Due to the recently enacted liquids ban, we had to get to the airport early, and public transportation hadn't started runn…

This was my frist overseas adventure. I met up with a good friend for my first two weeks, then I headed out to explore by myself. This was the most amazing experience EVER!! I met a bunch of amazing people, ate amazing food, and saw so many beautiful things!

Okay, so I'm in Dublin now. I took a quick pitstop in Rome, and that's all it was. a pitstop. I didn't see much more than the hostel, the train station, and two airports. Well, I did watch the Switzerland/Urkraine soccer match, but that was all. It was quite an exciting game. Went to penalty ki…

I blogged about her husbands stag party so may aswell briefly mention her wedding eh, it would be rude not too. Besides, it was technically just a stop over for me coming back from Kyrgyzstan to Costa Rica. It was a beautiful day, uncharacteristically nice and sunny. We made it slightly earlier as…

St. Patrick’s Day 2009 will forever change my view of Paddy’s Day.  In short, it was amazing! We got off to a slow start as the buffet breakfast put on by the hotel for the holiday was less than mediocre.  I was seriously missing Avril and Tony’s yummy breakfast from the day befo…
