September 24th – Today we FLY!
Well followers, today is it! We are sitting at the airport in Dublin, all checked in and waiting to board at 12:20. Not sure if we get any food on the plane so we might grab a quick bite of something before we board. Thanks for following our adventures. It was an amazing trip of …
September 23rd – Making the best of our last day in Dublin, including the heavy rain!!
It was pouring rain when we woke up but despite that, we had PLANS to follow through on! Cody came for breakfast and helped us use up our excess groceries. We then decided to spend an hour or so packing our suitcases and printing out our boarding passes, booking our bus to the airport, etc. …
September 22nd – Dublin – Book of Kels day!!
We are all excited today. We have tickets to tour the Book of Kels exhibit at Trinity College. Off we go after a hearty breakfast on foot downtown to the college. It did not disappoint us – the Trinity College campus is gorgeous and the exhibit was amazing. Such history and beauty! After our tour …

September 21st – 😂😂– Last leg of the Journey – DUBLIN

September 19th – CORK – a busy city!!
After researching some of the tours we thought we’d like to do, we discovered some of the tours from Cork only run on Saturday and Sundays in September. So, we found a train that would take us by rail 24 minutes down the road to a harbour town called Cobh. It was a seamless trip …
September 18th – And now we’re in CORK!!
Bigger city of about 125,000. Arrived here about 11:30 in the beautiful sunshine! Took a cab to our new digs – interesting little row house with lots of character. Two storey, slanted roof with a tiny little back garden. Very comfortable and cute. Not scoring high on the easy accessibility to the city centre as …
A P.S. from September 17th
Eldon was so taken with the Irish step dancing music he practised a few steps and high kicks on the streets of Killarney as we walked back to our room. It was quite a sight to behold! Wished I had taken a video!!!
September 17th – KILLARNEY wins so far!!
We are all loving the small City of Killarney – population of about 15,000. Friendly, clean, busy and lots to see and do. This morning we took a boat tour of the fresh water lakes, viewed Ross Castle, took another tour of Killarney National Park in a “jaunting car” (horse and buggy). Our guide whose …
