I started this blog in 2011 before my husband and I began our first ever European vacation. I had actually forgotten about it. Now it will be a place for me to keep my random bits of writing. Should something I write strike you please do leave a comment. As I enjoy hearing what emotions if any my writings might stir in someone. So, grab yourself a cup or tea or pint of ale, sit down and enjoy!

43 days and counting
Wow, well here we sit with 43 days before departure! GAH!!!! I cant believe how fast the time is finally starting to fly! And I have a feeling its going to start to really fly now. I think we have finally got everything done that needs to be done for the trip. And if not i guess I will find out sooner or later...... and I am hoping for sooner rather then later! I guess my only worry now really is the flight. Since I don't like to fly and I am going to be on a plane for 10 hours! It's time to work on my upping my mediation and relaxation skills!! Its that or getting some Valium. But Dan doesn't like that idea too much since the last time I had to take Valium I had to take such a high does for it to be effective that he had to carry me home and then I slept for 2 days!!! hahahahahaha. Not how I want to start off my vacation! So, I will just have to work on lower my panic level. And Dan is always so supportive, I can just hear him next to me know...."Oh no! were gonna crash!!!" hahahahha. or "Is that mountain getting closer??"....or "Why are we so close to the water??" you see he finds my fear amusing. But I guess that is my payback for all those years as kids when I tortured him. LOL
I will just have to keep in mind what the outcome of the long and torturous plane ride is for, and that is too see my wonderful Sister across the sea Dawn, and to fulfill my parent dream (and mine of course) of going to Ireland. I am looking forward to spreading some of their ashes in places that hold special meaning. The village of Cong, where the movie "The Quiet Man" was filmed. That was one of Mom and Dad's favorite movies. Maguires Bridge which is a village that my Great Great Great Grandfather on my Mothers side is from. And then any other little lovely places we come across.
Well, do check back as i am sure I will post something again before we leave and of course I will be posting during our trip :-)
Blessed Be all.
