Off we go to the bus stop to get to the train take us to another bus to get to our terminal to check in for our flight, at long last, to Ireland. We’ve been meaning to visit Ireland since about 2004 or so, but it’s never worked out before. Here’s our rough itinerary:
- fly to Cork, check in at the Lancaster Lodge
- Hang out there and explore — our Frommer’s guide says Cork is the culinary capital of Ireland. We’ll see about that. I’m looking forward to corned beef and shepherd’s pie.
- Snag a rental car and drive to Kenmare, check in at the Riverville House Kenmare
- drive around the Ring of Kerry in a clockwise direction
- drive home and fly back to Munich, fully refreshed, energized, and motivated for my upcoming trip to Romania (surprise — it’s not Iasi!).
Oh, and about the shirt: it was a very odd coincidence that this shirt arrived this morning in the mail before our departure. shirt.woot.com was offering three random shirts for $6.66 each + $5 shipping and I couldn’t resist. I’m calling it a good omen.
Have a great time in Ireland… take LOTS of pictures!
Oh and hey… who would have guessed about Carmen? MAN!
Have fun rollin’ on the greens. Seriously. There are enough green hills there. Roll down one.
Man, remember how we loved that show??
Enjoy the language and come back safe.
Rock-a-pella
Still haven’t been to Ireland! Enjoy.
LOLLLLL I am actually dying laughing at that shirt! I want it, and hoping over to that site right now. Wow, you and Sarah are full of these fun site tips,eh?
