Day 0 - Sunday March 31st - We really are going to Ireland...better pack.

Today is Sunday, June and I got home from our trip south on Friday.  We have been on the road for over 3 weeks and got home just in time to pack for our Ireland trip.  It is hard not to feel sorry for us....

Seriously, we did not do the best in date planning but we are going to make it work.  We are traveling with June's sisters Jean (and Ed) and Donna (and Bob).  Donna has done all the work booking the tour and making arrangements, Ed had done all the work researching what we should seek out when we are there.  June and I have not done much other than nod our heads.  Sometimes you just have to be a hanger-on'r.

Anyway, I know it is going to be a good time and we are looking forward to it.

Here is Ed's latest route estimate.

We are going to cover a lot of ground in just a week, it is unlikely we could do this if it was not a guided tour.

Time to go Pack!

About a Month to get ready.

About every other year, the Allens, Jaquishes, and Kitchins do a group vacation, it is typically in the winter/spring and to a much warmer climate.

We have been to Virgin Gorda, Aruba, Grenada, and Hawaii (sans the K's they went to Costa Rica).

This year we are switching it up a bit and going east instead of south.

Ireland is one of the places Ed has always wanted to visit, so why not...we are going to Ireland. We wil depart on Monday the first of April...no April Fools!, and return on Tuesday April 9th.

We  will visit four areas of Ireland, it is a rather short trip so we will leave many places to visit if we decide we really like it and want to return.

Time to brush up on our Irish Beers and Whiskey!!
