Only one more week until we leave on our trip to Ireland. I am so excited I can't believe it is really happening.

I was wondering if any fangirls from my flist are in western Ireland. I know Tonksinger is in Dublin, (don't think we are going to make it there though). We are focusing our trip mainly in the 3 counties of Clare, Galway and Mayo.  My great-grandparents were from County Mayo, and although I don't have any contacts still there I am interested in visiting that area, just because.

We are leaving next Mon night 3/28 to stay with my daughter in Royal Oak then flying out of Detroit Tuesday evening 3/29 to JFK in NY then overnight to Shannon arriving 3/30 around mid morning. Renting a car and have B&B vouchers so we will just sort of wander about and go as we please. I do plan to book our first night at least, probably near the Cliffs of Moher area and we will start our site seeing tour there on Wed. Then do a big loop up through County Galway into Mayo and back around ending up on 4/8 back in the area near Shannon to leave the morning of 4/9.

This will also be my first flight, so I am a little nervous about that. Sounds silly I know, and it isn't that I am afraid of flying or anything. Just never had a chance or reason to fly. We didn't take vacations when I was a kid, ever. And when we were raising our own kids we could not afford to fly because there were 6 of us. (Hope I don't embarrass myself by getting airsick or something!)

The fact that we don't leave til next week and I already have my bags packed doesn't tell you how excited I am does it? LOL! Eight days and couning. :D
