Well, here we go. I’m cheating a little because I’m still in the states, but I’m a little bit more than 24 hours away from boarding a plane headed to Dublin. I figured I’d kick this off while I still had plenty of time and enough sense to introduce this blog business. In the past few days I’ve packed my life for the next 3 months (and some change) into one green suitcase and my L.L. Bean book bag that I’ve used since 8th grade.

My husband Rich and I began planning our trip back in February. Fresh from our honeymoon and skipping our annual January vacation we were looking to plan something big. August 25th is our one year wedding anniversary so we started with that date in mind. Today, we have really started getting in to gear with the plans. It goes something like this: Fly from our home in beautiful and historic Savannah, Georiga to San Diego, California. Grab our rental car (a Mustang Convertible) and spend 11 days driving north to San Francisco.

Departing in 2 days!! ... read more

Been there several times, very peaceful; though the kids loved when the boats and ski-doos whipped past and sent in little waves. The beach is right across from the State ... read more
