Ireland or Bust

I am getting really excited and unlike Egypt, I feel very little stress about this trip. I am not even really worried about delays or anything. I just want to get to Europe. Ideally, I hope that everything goes as planned but hey....this is an adventure. After checking the weather, it is claiming to be in the 40s and 50s while we are there. This means GREEN GREEN GREEN (and some rain rain rain). Glad I like rain. I had to pack everything into a carry on and weigh it. It currently weighs 24 pounds and COMBINED, cannot be any more than 26 pounds. I will be moving some items into Jeff's bag :)

Tami to Ireland!

Now that I have been to Egypt and Greece, I have realized just how easy it is to travel outside of the U.S.A..  In about a week, we will venture to Dublin, Ireland....rent a car and travel around weather permitting (and it will permit).  I don't need any fancy accommodations as I am simply thrilled to be traveling with good friends that make for excellent company.  I have always wanted to see the world and I am so excited to be off on another adventure!  I will post pictures as I can. 

What I hope to accomplish in Ireland.........
  • See castles
  • Visit some of the oldest pubs in the world
  • Hopefully see green, green, green and if there is snow, I will drink until I see green green green (just kidding....but that option was suggested.)
  • Bring back a stereotypical shamrock for a friend.
  • See sheep
  • Visit the Guinness Factory
  • Enjoy good company and laugh a lot.


 
It has always been my dream to travel to Egypt. I have had a fascination with Ancient Egypt since I was a little girl. This fascination is the reason I am now a teacher. Thanks to the Lilly Endowment Grant for Teacher Creativity, my dream is about to come true. Let the adventure begin!
