  After driving in Ireland for the past five days Angie and I were ready to be stationary for the next two days before flying home.  Driving in Ireland can be very stressful and being stuck in a car day after day can make you stir crazy even though the views are fabulous.  I am hype…

i was supposed to fly out of shannon on the 11th - i happened to check the news around 3am and saw all about the new terror threat on trans atlantic flights. this of course was not welcomed news, at this point i hadnt spoken to my parents in nearly 8 weeks. so i decided that there was no way i …

Up about 6am and shower, dress and pack to move on. Breakfast in nothing special, but the coffee was good. Off to Cardiff where we stop about 9:45am for an hour stop. Our tour director didn't even mention the Castle almost across the street. We could see the wall, with a nice garden on this si…

Probably the best thing about Dublin is the Guinness. People are right when they say it doesn't travel well. And having a pint from the actually brewery was to die for :) I discovered another lovely irish beer called Kilkenny. It tastes like the offspring of a Smithwicks and Boddingtons. And of cou…

Well less than 24 hours to go and still haven't packed a thing! The backpack is still in the cupboard and I have no idea when I will pack! Oh well, I guess this is all part of the excitement and adventure (or laziness ;-p )! Decided to go to Berlin straight away and spend two days there. Hopefully …

Ireland 2007

I have heard so many beautiful things about Kinsale and it is only about 15 minutes away by bus from where I work.  But for some reason, no matter how many times I have planned to go there, the plans just wouldn't push through. Finally, 2 weeks ago, my friend and I made a …

I managed to find a cheap return flight to Dublin for only 30 pounds, so off I left for a week in sunny Ireland. Was picked up at the airport by Carol who was kind enough to let me stay with her and Rony for a couple of nights. They have a 9-month-old boy Matthew, so it was great to meet him too.…

Having spent 7 years in Italy, I have quite a few Italian friends, but for the first time since moving back home in July 2007 one of them has taken up my invitation to visit. Angelo touched down in Shannon airport in a t-shirt and by the time we set off from the airport he was wearing a t-shirt, 2 …

Today is our last day here :( We sort of slept in, since it was late last night: 8 AM we got up, and got packed. Luckily we had an elongated check out time: 2 PM in stead of 12 o'clock... So after breakfast we were off again: I wanted to see the exhibition Bodies, but it was a bit expensive: € 2…

I stayed in Dublin with Jill on Saturday night as we arrived back very late from Girona, and on the Sunday we decided to head to Dublin Zoo in Phoenix Park! It was a great day, and if you're in Dublin it's worth taking a trip out to the zoo!After the zoo we sat down in the blazing sunshine in Phoen…
