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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
To say that we were totally unprepared for the deep history of St Patrick's Rock is quite an understatement. We opted to not take a guided tour, and looking at the size of the tour groups, we didn't regret it, but we found so few interpretive signs that we relied upon...
Our plans to visit Tipperary were vague. We just thought we'd like to see the area that our Great Great Grandparents emigrated from during The Great Famine so detouring to the town of Cashel for ice cream fit with the plan. With the help of Yelp! we navigated to...
With only a two hour drive to our next destination we've plenty of time for a detour and a couple of stops along the way. It's not such a long way to Tipperary and Dunmanway, along the route seemed a promising place to find some postal stamps and some nourishment. We...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.
