Irish Eyes are Smiling

Obviously I'm not Irish, but my eyes are smiling as in less than 24 hours we will be jetting off to the Emerald Isle.  This year's summer vacation has us taking advantage of the unfortunate  economic crisis that Ireland is currently suffering (bad for Ireland, YAY for us).  I'm sure that the downturn in their economy will not taint the lovely country that is Ireland, its lovely people, or our experience. We will be flying Aer Lingus to Dublin and driving through the Northern portion of the country. I can't wait to see the rolling hills of green, run my fingers through yarn made of some real Irish wool, drink Guinness and Jameson at their birthplace, walk the streets of James Joyce and the grounds of Trinity College, rest my head in some old castles and abbeys, and maybe, just maybe, I'll be lucky enough to see me a leprechaun, lol...as per our usual, please check in here to see what we are up to and feel free to leave a comment...Éirinn go Brách!!!!
