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...
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 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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
