Chris and I are leaving for Ireland this weekend and are really looking forward to a week away with no worries. Up to this point we have taken trips to places we both have been anxious to see, but Ireland has never really been on our list of "Must Sees." Because Chris is such a hard worker and dedicated individual, he made the "President's Club" trip which is awarded to a select few at his work. As a reward for his hard work, his company is sending us on a paid, one week vacation to Ireland. Now that is what I call Go maire tú an lá!, or Congratulations!
I have not packed, and really have not planned out anything about this trip, which if you know me very well, or just a little probably, that is totally out of character for me. I have come to realize that I know very little about Ireland, its weather, the dialect, and what there is to do there. What I do know is that we will be drinking lots of beer, well Guinness, and doing a lot of sightseeing. The nice thing about this trip is that I don't feel like I have to get "the bang for the buck" and cram everything I can into the vacation, because we are not paying for it. Hallelujah!
I cannot wait to tell you about the trip when we return, our adventures with the leprechauns (just kidding), the blarney stone, the Book of Kells, the Castles, and the folk music... okay so maybe I have done a little bit of research...
Signing off, or as the Irish say, Slán go foill.
