Actually, I'm going for the first time, tomorrow. We're going to be visiting Galway and West Port. Therefore, I'll be off the board for a week.
Shall I call up all the Sullivans and annoy them while I'm there?

Enjoy your trip Bob. I have always wanted to go to Ireland. Please take many, many pictures to post later.

Ireland seems like a really beautiful country, with all those rolling hills, and all that green, I'd love to see it myself. I hope you have a good time, and DO take lots and lots of pictures!

I wish you could find Bridget's relatives and ask them if they know her 'secret' is...what WAS it that she took to her grave ?

It WAS a fabulous vacation, with a whole week of sunlight! Who gets sunburned in Ireland? I DO!
I thought Guiness tasted like fermented burnt toast. Blehh!

Glad you're back sound if sunburned!
Here's a link to someone who manages to combine your favorite drink with Audrey's favorite food.

Bob... Guiness Dark is an acquired taste, that's for sure. I like it best with fish n chips myself...

I had it with fish and chips! Really! And I enjoy dark beer!
Well, at least I did try it. While we were visiting West Port, I saw a plaque with the qualities of someone named "Lizzie" in a gift shop, and I especially liked "Will not be satisfied with mediocrity" and "Lives life to the fullest."
That's our Lizzie!

Mon Dieu! I do not like Haggis.. Which I was told is a Scottish dish and not an Irish one-- A faux pas for me!
Ireland is such a fabu place-- Beautiful beyond words.
Next stop.. Paris.

Audrey...I was going to mention the "haggis," (I'm part Scottish), and I looked at your photo again and the thought went clear out of my mind...

I'm jealous, Bob-O and I want to go to Ireland too!
Stef and I have wanted to go since the 1980's!
I only have a book called "Above Ireland" and I look at that and yearn.
