This little house overlooking Bantry Bay is aptly named. Incredible views out of every window. For the first time we had to draw straws for our room assignments! It's truly the vacation home of someone who loves to share the joy and who loves whimsy. Wallpapered walls...
New moon and eight tandem kayaks on Castlehaven Bay are ingredients for an absolutely magical experience! We checked into our lodgings in Bantry and did another picnic style supper. As evening drew upon us we set out for our midnight adventure. At Reen Pier we met...
What an experience, to have a Harris's Hawk land on your gloved hand! Or even better, to swoop immediately over your head to capture a bit of quail meat offered by a falconer! We met John of Killarney Falconry at a designated spot along the roadside near Coolcorcoran...
As we were northbound on R519 just south of Ballingarry, Co. Limerick, we spotted an ice cream cone sign and quickly wheeled in to the car park, piled out, and trooped into Snow's Country Store where our choice was a plain ice cream cone or a Flake 99. The poor...
Heading south from Ennistimon we chose to avoid the motorway and found ourselves stopping to visit the village of Quin, we stopped at the little park and tossed some coins into the fountain to assure our return, admired the Tidy Town awards, and walked to and around...
The few bites we took of light breakfast with our coffee/tea this morning was not meant to hold us long. On our way south into Ennistimon we consulted Yelp! for an eatery offering Black Pudding. Black and White Puddings as well as Irish Bacon are components of a...
After our departure from The Cliffs of Moher we stopped at a pub in Doolin that promised good food, drink, and music but the place was already filled to capacity. So we wandered in the rain to a nearby pizza place and ordered a meal to go which we took back to Tigh...
This afternoon at 1:15PM MDT Megan and Arden are saying their wedding vows in a simple civil ceremony in Santa Fe NM. Although every one of us would dearly love to be at that event, we're at the Cliffs of Mother looking west across the Atlantic at 8:15 Irish Standard...
Last night Patti made a request of The Universe. She asked for a complete rainbow. This evening shortly after we walked up to the Cliffs of Moher, we experienced a light rain shower and when we looked east, believe it or not, we saw a complete rainbow! In this...
Our plans for this evening necessitate our finding a bottle of bubbly. On our way from Ballycurrin we stopped at Joyce's in Headford but since it wasn't yet half ten (10:30 AM) we were too early to buy off-licence. So as we left Athlone we began looking for a place to...
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.

A stop at Ålesund at the entrance to Geiranger Fjord gave us a glimpse into life in and the history of a coastal city in Norway.
After a few days of exploration in the realm of the Arctic Circle, we aboard the Jewel of the Seas celebrated with a Blue Nose Ceremony and will receive Arctic Crossing Certificates!
We made it to the Top of the World, or at least the northernmost land mass in Europe, Magerøya Island. On our coach tour we learned much about the natural history and the cultures of this starkly beautiful place.
