Well buddies, the DH and I are heading off to the Island of Eire (Ireland) for the next 14 days!!! WOW! I can’t beleive it’s here…

rn

 

rn

So I will be MIA on the boards for the next two weeks…BUMMER! I hope you guys will survive without me!!! I know it will be most devestating…

rn

 

rn

We have planned for this trip for over two years and we are excited beyond beleif! Neither of us have ever been overseas…WOW!!!!!

rn

 

rn

We will be touring both The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, and seeing many historical sites…We will most likely do a lot of Pub crawling as well, and will visit the Guinness Storehouse, and Bushmill’s Distillery…Hey, we have a tourguide, so no worries about drinking and driving, eh?? Not to mention, they would probably kick us out of Ireland if we didnt lift a pint or two with them!!!

rn

 

rn

I will miss you all while I am away, but will do my best to get back on when I return on the 19th!And I will read all your blogs, postings and what nots…

rn

 

rn

I hope you all stay happy, and healthy, and strong on your journey…

rn

 

rn

I expect BIG losses when I return from all of you! But hey, no pressure, right???

rn

 

rn

If you could spare a good thought or a prayer for us, I would appreciate it, as I am MOST terrified of the 9 hour flight!!! Egads!!!

rn

 

rn

I am also going to try my hardest to not get out of control with the food…I want to enjoy myself on vacation, but with some moderation, so I dont gain back much of what I have lost!!!! HELP KEEP ME STRONG…Send me your good vibes please!!!!

rn

 

rn

I will leave you now with a little lesson in the Irish Gaelic Language…Because life is all about learning…Go forth and prosper my little buddies!
