Cobh on Our Own
For our first adventure together on the Emerald Isle, we walked the streets of Cobh, County Cork, explored St Colman’s Cathedral, and visited the Cobh Heritage Center.
Over Marietta
It's the last leg of the journey that began early in the morning ten days ago, the last of eight plane flights, the second flight rescheduled due to flight delays and missed connections. Looking forward to landing in Asheville and hugging Steve. The prediction is that...
The Next Morning
Three of us awakened at Alice's house at various times this morning. Karen still had her phone set to Dublin time so when she awoke at 7AM it seemed logical to shower and start getting her gear ready for repacking. It took a little while to realize that the reason no...
Surviving Heathrow
It's been a morning of crazy adventure and cultural experiences. We awakened this morning at 5:15AM at the Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport having chosen these digs primarily for the proximity to our departure. By the morning's early light we packed our rented VW Tiguan...
O’Neill’s in Dublin
It's a family tradition. When we go to Dublin we make a visit to O'Neill's across from Trinity College. The first time was when Mother and Dad, Ken and Alice visited the Irish capital as part of a British Isles cruise. Mother and Dad knew of this venerable Dublin...
Dillon’s in Castlecomer
The trip from Waterford to Dublin is but a two hour trip via the modern Motorway. We thought we'd head on into Dublin and spend some time walking around the city center. Along the way Alice suggested we find a place to pull off and stretch our legs. There aren't any...
Waterford in the Rain
It's a short journey into the historic town of Waterford and we were able to find some on-street parking just a short distance from the Waterford Crystal showroom. We popped open our umbrellas and wended our way past the luxury motor coach tour buses (We abbreviate...
Greenway Cottage
When we arrived at Greenway Cottage in Dungarvan yesterday afternoon, our hostess Catherine was waiting for us on the sidewalk ready to show us around our home for the night. It's been a great stay here on the quay. Yesterday was sunny and last evening was perfect...
Here’s to You, Dad!
Our Sisters Trip to Ireland was prompted by you, Dad and your desire to return to the Emerald Isle. We scheduled specifically to include not only your birthday but this day, the 1st anniversary of your wake. This evening we're in Dungarvan, County Waterford, on the...

OUR VERY
LATEST
Rally in the Adirondacks
Thanks to the organizational skills of Mandy & Kgreat weekend of endrick, the amazing support of their team, and the sponsorship of nüCamp RV we enjoyed a great weekend of camaraderie and fun at the Northeast Rally. Gathering with fellow teardrop aficionados is always an enriching experience and this gathering in the Adirondacks was no exception.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Slow Journey Home
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
