Goodbye Ireland- I will miss you!

Thanks to everyone for their pictures of all their friends they met along the way. I know there are a few missing but we could not take the camera everywhere I guess, we already were sticking out as the tourist we were. I hope this is a good last thing to post, a goodbye. Keep in touch!

As far as the “Oneliners” we have decided to keep them to ourselves. They would not make much sense to you and half a story is not very interesting. Just know there are so many more stories that can not be published and if you are deciding to go to Ireland or not, I say, “Go!” There are more than enough reasons on these pages to convince you to leap out of your comfort zone. Travel will change you and no one can really tell you how because I have learned by watching 13 other people, it depends on the person and where your journey in life rests. Be assured you will not remain the same and even a year from returning I think you will be surprised how it still creeps into your sub-conscience and motivates a decision or simply the new pace at which you move through life. So what are you waiting for? Get your paperwork in!

 

 

We are Ready!

Packing, crossing items from the to-do list.  Family melancoly sentiments of time to be missed. Friends who will be seen are nervous, excited and pumped, teachers stressed and rushed. Rain prepares us for the weeks ahead. Running, thinking, anything else? The fear of something needed left behind. The night before will be affectionate, longing looks like a romantic holiday. Alarm don’t fail me. Car get me there. Plane fly, with Angels if needed, to get me to Dublin. For I am going to Ireland. Land of past ancestors. The misty mystical Island awaits and now we are ready to embrace her.
