Did I Mention That It’s Been Raining…ALL DAY?!?!

Luckily , we were able to have some dry weather during our walking tour of Kinsale. I’ve always enjoyed either taking the historical walking tours or ghost tours when I visit new cities. I love seeing things first hand while hearing the stories – be they sordid, gory and ghostly stories, or just [...]

Enjoying a Cuppa in Kinsale

We just finished our first Irish breakfast.  I’m not a huge fan of breakfast, so eggs and meats doesn’t really do all that much for me.  Instead, I’m inhaling the pot of tea.  Our hostess just left for an appointment but will be back shortly to send us on our way to Middleton (for whisky) [...]

I Seemed to Have Had a Bit of Meltdown

But really does the entire Dublin metro freeway system need to be under construction?!?! I mean I can learn how to drive on the left or I can drive through massive roadwork. Not both. And NOT on less than 8 hours sleep over 2 nights. A big thank you to those moms for [...]

I’m Bored. And Tired.

I feel like it’s 2:30 in the morning.  In reality, it’s just 10:30.  I’m tired, but it’s too early to go to bed.  I’m bored, but there’s nothing on TV but repeats or politics.  If I head to bed to read, I’ll probably fall asleep in mere minutes. I should pack.  But to be honest, I [...]

Well Now, That Was a Good Waste of Two Hours

Who knew that 8GB on an iPod just wouldn’t be enough?  I mean it sounds like it’s plenty of room.  Maybe it is…for other people.  But it turns out I had to delete a good chunk of my iTunes library (mostly my husband’s stuff and it’s all in his iTunes library).  On top of that, [...]

What’s Left to Do…

We leave first thing Wednesday (man is that going to be a crazy long day).  Tuesday, being Election Day I figure the husband will be glued to the TV all night.  Needless to say, I figure we have to basically have everything gathered and be pre-packed before bed on Monday. Of course, there’s still stuff that [...]

Is it Really Friday?

I’ve been off all week on my days.  So if today is really Friday, then I’m ready for it.  Of course I have a crazy busy day tomorrow with two clients and dinner with friends, but let’s face it, there’s not all too much of a difference between a Friday and a Saturday when you [...]

I Hate Feeling Groggy Like This

Turns out my migraine didn’t exactly leave the other day.  After getting back from the dreaded dentist (where my Xanax didn’t work nearly as well as it should have!) I basically crashed for like three hours. And you have no idea just how much I’ve slept this weekend.  Really, I’m not sleepy at all.  I’m [...]

Finally.

As for Ireland, we are booked!!! Finally! It was hard as hell finding a place both in Kinsale & Dingle (both are smallish towns) since it turns out many smaller, family-run inns and B&Bs close down in November.  So basically, it was pretty much just as difficult for us to book rooms in November as [...]
