We did it - we've talked about and talked about it, but we finally did it! Purchased tickets to the Emerald Isles. It's not till November, but I'm extremely excited about it.
We have spent the last few weeks (on and off) checking for tickets, now that we have them we have to decide what to do and where specifically to go!
We fly into Dublin so I think we'll start there - the Guinness Brewery is a must as well as St. Patrick's Cathedral. I'm sure we'll take in a few more sights before heading out to the country side. We're more interested in seeing the natural wonders than the big city excitement. Currently thinking we'll go North (Giant's Causeway) then East (Galway - Cliffs of Moher). It's just a matter of filling in the blanks in between. We will arrive on a Friday morning and leave a week from Sunday - pretty well 9-1/2 days there.
Plans are to take only backpacks (albeit large backpacks). Not sure if we'll do hostels, b&b's or hotels - more than likely a combination of the three.
Hopefully trains and buses and maybe an occasional taxi will be able to get us to our desired destinations. If not, I guess we could try to hitch hike like the guy that did it with a fridge - pretty good book! ;-)
Anyway, that's all for now - till I make more decisions...
