Road Trip to Ireland....

---

Spent today getting packed for our road trip to Ireland for 5 days. We are driving out to the west side of Glasgow to a lttle town called Hamilton to stay overnight, then catch the ferry across to Ireland.
Our dinner at The Simpsons was delightful, had to open a bottle of Moet champagne which was awesome. Jase and I tried a Scottish dish called "Cullen Skink" which was a thick, milky fish soup was okay but very filling. The rest of the meal was great and Jase's work colleague and his wife were good fun. Left the restaurant & walked & walked through the city & they took me to a typical Scottish pub called Blackfriars in the heart of the city. Had my first half pint of Ale, well it was revolting - flat, warm and a very thick liquid, not my kind of beer. Arrived home when it was dark, great able to sleep without daylight beaming in through the windows.

Hi Buddy, all sounds to be going well. Stay away from the pommie beer. They think it is good, but they are very different from you and me. My friends who have been to the land of the Irish swear by the Guiness. have one or two for me. Kym XXXX

Dublin very nice indeed.....
Great to here your holiday was good, but not so great about going bac to school life. Our time in Dublin was fabulous, great food, wine, beer, pubs and the local people were very entertaining........ There Irish accent is music to the ears, could listen to it all night. Just got home from a long road trip around the Loch ness in Scotland, scenery breathtaking. Need to get some sleep, have been partying very hard over the last couple of days. Take care, luv you. xxx
