Kiss Me I'm Irish!!!!
My Irish Birthday Party!!! OOOOOOk
so I decided to get on this travel blog to update everyone on my little adventure. Please don't be dissappointed if some things sound a little funny or i may not spell something correctly...its a blog, who cares...haha
To answer everyones question:
WHY ARE YOU GOING TO IRELAND? WHY ARE YOU GOING BY YOURSELF? ARE YOU CRAZY? LOL
I have always been fascinated with this country. The fields of green, the culture, the music, the pubs, everything about it. I absolutely love the accent and love the Irish! (They are my weakness) Ok so I am a little obsessed over Bono, but that isn't the real reason I am going, cause i know that is what most of ya'll are thinking. I always said I would go, but never put my mind to it. Once I watched the movie, P.S. I Love you and I said from that day on, I am there! I started putting it all into the works. found out how affordable it was and it just went from there. Chet told me to watch the movie "Once" and it really put the fire in me. so Ireland here I come. On to the next question:
Why by myself?
Over the past couple years I have done some real soul searching. I guess to say the least me and lennon has had some real life changing events and it really opened my eyes to what was really important and what really matters in our lives. I was broke down, literally had to build from the ground up again and I became so much stronger than i ever was. It made me appreciate life, my family and my friends even more. Now more than ever I feel that I am FINALLY at peace and I am ready to live life to the fullest. I am ready to go on this journey and reflect on things. To me this is like my retreat to go and do whatever, whenever at my own will. For once I am doing something for myself by myself and I will have the time of my life. I am proud of how far I have come, who I am, and where the future will take me.
For once, I am taking the road less traveled!
Things I plan on doing/places I will be going in Ireland:
-fly into dublin @ 6:55 am their time May 15- I will be staying at Templebarhouse Hostel until 18
-go to guiness brewery
-visit a park or two ( I have them written down somewhere)
-write on bono's gate
-walk down the famous Grafton Street
-visit a few famous pubs that i also have written down
-take some souvenirs from a few pubs/i have gifts to exchange...haha
-get my shamrock tattoo
-Mick Flannery concert on Vicar Street on 22
-Fly out of Dublin on May 23 @ 10:55 am their time
Galway
-leave on a train to Barnacles Galway hostle on May 18-20
-take in scenery
-rent a bike
-visit some pubs that i have written down
-ya know i don't really know what else...
-rely on the locals to tell me...hahaha
Baltimore Village/Sherkin Island
-May20-22
Now I was told I MUST GO by someone who lives in West Cork. now when a local tells you more than 3 times that you have to go to this place...i guess i better listen...LOL...so i canceled my Killarney plans and I am going to this place. All it took was one look on the internet and I was thinking to myself, DUH! no wonder they told me to go there. I have no clue other than it is an island and i take a ferry to go to certain places and again i am relying on good people to tell me what else to do...LOL...
I am learning as i go here but that is part of the adventure, right?
I hope to be able to keep everybody up to speed on things as i take off. I will have a journal with me so if i don't get to update right away i will be able to jot some things down and i can go back and look just in case i forget.
Oh i forgot to mention that not too long ago I was told that I have some Irish in my blood line. so with that being said, I plan on doing some research while I am there. as much as I can anyway, but I can see another trip in my future 😊
well wish me luck and i will catch everyone on the flip side!!!
Godspeed to me 😊
I love you Lennon Grace!

You're my hero! I wish I could go with you... to the tips of my toes I wish I were going with you. I'm relying on you to do everything as though I were there with you... you have to have enough fun for the both of us! I'm so proud of you and I know that this trip will be a landmark in your life.
