So today we woke bright and early at 6am to hit up the early entry for disneyland. Its remarkable how a place like disneyland can actually make you WANT to get up that early and you arent even grumpy. Altho I did get a seriously awful headache considering I didnt get coffee... but anyways. So the first thing when we got there was run STRAIGHT for space mountain, cause, naturally its the best ride. Plus we wanted to beat the crazy line ups that we knew would be coming later on in the day. That ride is so much better now that they play the red hot chili peppers song "Higher Ground" After that we did star tours and buzz lightyear astro blasters about a million times for Matthew (his favorite.) From there we headed ... read more

UNBELIEVABLE! I WENT TO GLASGOW!!! You have NO idea how exciting this was for me... when I flew in I was just looking at these gorgeous country sides with beautiful beaches and rugged terrain and I seriously wanted to cry. Once there of course I was just blown away. I thought Dublin was something? Glasgow was even BETTER! The first afternoon we just kind of explored Buchannon street and the galleries (shops) and then headed for Andrews flat. The architecture is phenomenal.

I actually ran up to it and put my hands on it cause I was so excited (its from the ... read more

Its quite crazy because everything there is sooo ooold. Its not like walking around Vancouver where its all skyscrapers. Everything here has a history. I hung out on Grafton street for a few hours by myself just wandering the shops. Its a pedestrian only street so thats rather handy. People all through the streets were selling flowers and playing the violin and everything. Oh and theres REAL GYPSYS! Of course they arent thought of highly because they just try and get money off of you and park there trailers wherever they please. I met Louise for ... read more

To Ireland So since im just waiting for Louise to get home from work, I thought id do a quick little update on the goings on so far... My flight left Vancouver at about 530 pm on April 4th. Thankfully it was a direct flight AND i got window seat haha. Although there wasnt much in the way of entertainment on the flight, I got to see the rockies for the first hour or so and then once I was up over the North West Territories the northern lights were RIGHT outside my window. Now I had never seen the northern lights before but they were absolutely beautiful. I didnt get a wink of sleep and yet somehow the guy next to me managed to be zonked out for most of the flight. He was a ... read more
