staying put Hi, Have just reviewed all your posts with pleasure. Reminds of the Danube cruise I took quite some time ago. One got a very quick view of so many ever so interesting places with a lot of traveling in-between. Like sampling appetizers for future travel. Glad you enjoyed Dublin so much on your first days. Seems a good place to wind up for the finale. I'm sure there's more you will enjoy there, the river, must be museums, etc. or maybe just a quiet couple of days to absorb the atmosphere more thoroughly. Thanks for sharing all your experiences. We too are heading home Tuesday after spending 10 days in Victoria with Peter, Mivi and 2 of our grandkids. A low key visit, chilly, but some nice walks in town and along the beaches, and a half day spent on Salt Spring Island. Hoping there will still be some fall colour when back in Toronto. It was spectacular when we left. Molly
I've so enjoyed your posts, Pam. Traveling again at last. It sounds you've had a huge trunk full of sensory and other experiences to carry home with you and keep you warm this winter. Perhaps you should keep your eyes peeled for a small perfect egg shaped rock to pop into your pocket for a souvenir given shopping has not provided you with a Gaelic/Celtic item to carry home. Not much time left I guess, only hours. Hope your trip home is smooth. Wish I could drop by to see post cards or just have a gab.
time to start thinking about home I'm sure it is all very interesting and equaly sure that the best best part of all travel is the last leg home. So happy for you and the expierences involved. see you soon.

Whew.. what a tour! Hi Pam, You have really seen a great deal … just reading the itineraries made me tired. Must be a great experience though… have enjoyed following it with you.
So many sights Wow! You’re seeing so many interesting spots. Nice to slow down for a few days.
We celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday with the Hauta’s: 15 of us; Lorna had it in the Seniors’ Hall this year, which has recently been renovated, and works very well for our group.
Still nice fall days here, but predicting s**w next week, yikes!
Longueuil Hi, I guess we cant have it all. Organized groupes are good for seeing many sites and not bother with reservation but yes they can be too much. I am sure you took pleasure in the site seeing and having a group around. Have fun just walking around. Remember 3 nights in the same bed! I just came back from the cottage, the Colors are beautiful, blazing. Picking up leaves, finding the most beautiful one and taking walks. Enjoy.
Your travels in Ireland Very interesting places and history. Thanks for opening our eyes to new places. Weather in Calgary is awesome. Very dry.New premiere is struggling but hope things come together for her so Alberta's economy and jobs come back on track. Lots of new Ukrainian Canadians arriving. Lots to do to help them with accomodations , and jobs with more English. Life is safe here but worries about Ukraine and the continued Russian aggression. The Irish had so many struggles as well. You are learning so much about it in person. Enjoy the last days . Keep well and safe.
Driving, driving, driving It sounds like this tour is a lot of travelling. Good thing you booked some days at the end to “travel” at your own pace. Enjoy all the rocks!
All is well here; fall weather; beautiful colours. We’re turning 30 pounds of grapes into jelly today, fun, fun.
Connections Hi. Hope the feet are rested from walking Galway City. So glad you were able to connect with a fellow traveller from the past Here we are fighting the wind. The leaves are swirling down from the wildly swaying trees. Most exciting.
Eastman I am at Eastman with Ginette. The fall colors are at their best and it is 20 degrees today. I received a memory from Facebook. We were in Nova Scotia 5 years ago. Remember! And you are in a Celtic environment again. Godd memories.
What an adventure. So interesting Pam, lots of history. I guess Dublin is very Catholic. Great that you got to see two churches.
The group sounds very diverse, I like that .
We leave today I should have set up a blog too.
Enjoy.
SOUNDS GOOD I HAD A WONDERFUL WEEKEND WITH THE MICHELLE CLAN AND AM BACK AT THE COLD WINDY FARM. WEATHER LOOKS LOUSY FOR THE THE NEXT WHILE. I HOPE YOUR WEATHER IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO CONTINUE YOUR ADVENTURE WITH PLEASURE.

Enjoying your blog and happy you are safe and happy too. Happy thanksgiving! We celebrated yesterday, so today is a clean up and rest day! Take care, and don’t let the blarney get to you….
Whiskey and rain Glad to know that you had a good experience in Dublin and are set to enjoy time with the group in the west of Ireland. Happy Thanksgiving.
A world away. Thanks Pam. Getting a bit of feel for the flashes of Ireland you are sharing.,, You evoke the atmosphere in your writing so well, from the chilly rain to the formal church architecture, to the heady smell of roses and on and on. Looking forward to the next blog entry and hoping your trip proceeds well. You've allowed my imagination and probably that of other friends to travel with you to a certain degree. Gros mercy.
Have a good trip Happy to hear that all is going well. I recognize your curiosity and sense of observation. Have a nice trip. P.S. thank you for the wishes on my birthday.
Happy Thanksgiving Hello. Glad to hear that you found your bearings so well upon arrival in Dublin. I am not a fan of Guinness so I know what you mean. I hope that you have a good tour over the next few days and that the rain remains soft and sporadic. Happy Thanksgiving. Mo
On The Road Again Great to see you are off adventuring again. Found Dublin to be a fun city too. Will follow along .
Am finishing up my first trip oistcCOVI. too … spent 12 days just relaxing on the Costa dark Sol in Spain, and am now in England visiting family… so good to be adventuring too .
I am off on another travel venture. This retirement thing is quite wonderful ,I recommend it to you all. Keep me posted on your activities.... full info
