The Summary

For years I only talked and dreamed of traveling to the place of my heritage ~ Ireland ~ and in 2005 it became a reality. And the best part ~ I was able to share this trip with my two adult daughters. We hired a driver(so as not to get lost or worse)who met us at the Shannon Airport. My dream was coming true right before my eyes. I hope you enjoy my blog but please take time to look at the pictures of the people. They are the real Ireland.
